houston     Fish Guru You want what when? Posts: 2623 Kudos: 2462 Votes: 337 Registered: 29-Mar-2003 | My cichlids like anything that goes into the tank, fingers included...  I've steamed/nuked zuchinnin, and even the skin disappeared, peas, carrots, brocolli, cauliflower...I think that is all I've tried so far...and so far, nothing is turned down...heidi "I've got a great ambition to die of exhaustion rather than boredom."

Warm water (not boiling, from tap is fine) and soak the veggie in there till you get the above result. I microwave most things but I use blanching for lettuce as it won't survive the micro quite so well. YOu may need to try some veggies a few times before you kids realise it is food or get a taste for it. Last edited by wish-ga at 01-Feb-2005 21:14 ~~~ My fish blow kisses at me all day long ~~~ |
