No one here has probably tried. I wouldn't though.

i think it would be ok

I think it would dirty up the water more then anything. Its has seeds so it might be ok for them. But I still think the water clarity would be a factor

Aren't strawberries pretty acidic? I agree it might make a mess with seeds etc. I don't know whether I'd like to risk it.... probably best to stick with recommended fruit and veg like cucumber, zucchini, lettuce...

 

[GuppyDude]

I dout that it would cloud the water, or make the fish ill, but because I've never heard of strawberries being fed to fish, there's no certainty that it wont.

Thanks, anyone else tried it?

Nop and I'm not planning on doing it

Hmm, personally i wouldn't do it unless your fish naturally have fruit in their diet in the wild, strawberries are very sugary and will probably not be that great for most types of fish.

 

[Matty P]

Agree, and I haven't heard of any fish naturally having strawberries in their diet!

 

[kribensis12]

Thanks.

There are some fish that do eat fruit in the wild - I believe some of the larger characins in the Amazon for example.

However, chances are you don't have any fruit-eating fish. I'd say try a tiny section of a single berry, and see what happens. If nothing else it will sink and some snail or something will eat it.
