Part of the reason may be because their mouths aren't designed for such vegetable matter, like with the Loricariids. With cories and loaches, broccoli or blanched lettuce might work. That's all I can think of at the moment, though you can try peas as well. Remember though, your fish may just not like vegetables!

Cichlid Keeper Big Fish Posts: 368 Kudos: 466 Votes: 304 Registered: 17-Aug-2003	I agree with simply trying different fruits and veggies and see what they'll eat.I've got mine to eat zucchini,lettuce,brocolli,cucumbers,pear and apple cores and yes even carrots. You might end up being very surprised at what they'll eat.
