Until I hear that this is some official term to describe fish-food preparation I will withhold my vote. Sorry to be a pain in the ... Ingo Edit: Removed last paragraph as somehow this section was labeled here "Additional Feeding Info" when in the profile itself it reads "Care". My mistake.

Cooking the veg for that long will significantly reduce its nutritive value.A quick steaming or blanching is a more appropriate way.
