Callatya Moderator The girl's got crabs! Posts: 9662 Kudos: 5261 Registered: 16-Sep-2001	i leave it in til is eaten, they start with the soft areas, and end with the hard areas, so it doesnt get messy. I have adequate filtration and fish that love it tho, so just keep an eye on yours (the square thing behind the rock is pineapple) [span class="edited"][Edited by Callatya 2004-08-11 09:19][/span] Callatya attached this image: [img]http://www.fishprofiles.net/attachments/413180.jpg"] For animals, the entire universe has been neatly divided into things to (a) mate with, (b) eat, (c) run away from, and (d) rocks. - Terry Pratchett

EDIT: Just remember not to leave it in for too long [span class="edited"][Edited by ferretfanatic 2004-08-11 08:24][/span] -Formerly known as the Ferretfish

sly Big Fish Posts: 377 Kudos: 251 Votes: 0 Registered: 22-Jun-2004	I've only tried zucchini and the only fish that notice it are the Gouramis. Which just nibble at it occasionally.

anf_redrider Hobbyist Posts: 73 Kudos: 48 Votes: 0 Registered: 29-Apr-2004	So fresh veggies are ok to give, in moderation? I never even thought of that. I have just been feeding the traditional flakes and some shrimp pellets, occasionally some algae wafers.

Dolf Enthusiast Posts: 203 Kudos: 180 Votes: 46 Registered: 09-May-2004	Watermelon doesn't have a chance to sink to the bottom of my tank before being swarmed over. I feed it as an occasional treat. I've also had good luck with tomato and lettuce.

Callatya Moderator The girl's got crabs! Posts: 9662 Kudos: 5261 Registered: 16-Sep-2001	mine dont care much for carrot or tomato, but do enjoy apple, zucchini, lettuce, chinese veggies, and the odd bit of cooked prawn.. although thats not a veggie, but the 'algae eaters' still went for it.
