Bread Crumbs ?

May sound crazy, but I read somewhere that tiny bread crumbs are OK for fish. Is this for real and why would you?

hmm i wouldn't be to sure about that because, once bread hits water it absorbs this water and really is more like a sponge. So i think this could actually give the fish a problem more then a help.

as i recall from my fishing days, too buch bread in a pond contributes to oxygen loss so in a tank could be worse. please don't quote me on it though

I've used dough balls to catch carp here in some of the local lakes, the carp love the dough. I dont know however what the bread would do but I'm assuming if it was fresh the yeast would play some effect in the water quality. I doubt it would really hurt a whole lot but I dont see how it would help either.

if i have some toast i will brush the tiny bits that are left on the plate into the water. my tetras love it

its really not very good for your fish to feed them people-food largely due to all the oils, salts and preservatives that are used to make things tasty. definitely don't feed bread crumbs as a staple diet. it shouldn't be any more than the occasional "treat"

Gave the comet goldie and the rosie red minnow a tiny bit of crumbs from breakfast toast. They seemed to enjoy it. Just a little treat for them.
