In Aust you can buy a "Pea, corn, and carrot" frozen veg mix I give them a mix of that every time I cook them. I also squash them up before I put them into the tank. More of my feeding program is in My Profile.

I never remove the outside skin reason their is possibly good nourishment in the skin as well. As I said before I just squash them up.

HOKESE Mega Fish Posts: 1105 Kudos: 478 Votes: 271 Registered: 22-Feb-2003	when you say sqaush them up,do u mean just in your fingers,or really mash them up.isnt this way a bit messy,most of the things ive mashed up they seem 2 be messy,i just try to keep them whole if possible,but if not mash em up.i just gave them a feed not long ago,this time i also put in corn and carrots aswell,anyone see any probs with this,im guns start trying to put more vegies and stuff into there diet.all my fish ate the vegies up.my 2 big tigers had a couple but i think they prefer something thats a bit more filling,i mite just mash sum beef heart into the vegies.

It is a good idea to blanch fresh vegetables to break down the raw vegetable material. Mashing or squashing the peas with your fingers makes the pieces available to smaller fish. __________ "To steal ideas from one person is plagiarism; to steal from many is research." researched from Steven Wright

Oh... don't use the creamed, frozen varieties!

If you defrost a frozen pea and compare to a fresh pea popped from the shell you will see what I mean. I remove the skin from frozen peas. Depends on the size of your fish but I have heard of smaller fish choking on the skins. Skins would be good roughage for larger fish but I am cautious. Glad your little guys liked the peas! [only will affect the water if there is uneaten stuff. I feed peas only about once per wk or fortnightly and ensure there is no uneaten pea around] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ ~~~ My fish blow kisses at me all day long ~~~
