Ive just read that carrot is good for mbuna but how do i go about feeding them carrot?
Would i be ok to cut a peice of carrot and leave it at the bottom of the tank or would it have to be grated? |

I think it would be easier for them if you grate it, but harder for you to remove and uneaten food.
Atleast if it's in a block you can remove any uneaten food easily. |

I'd definately parboil it first to soften it up a little, and I wouldn't leave it in too long.
