Definitely doing a kebab for mine now. Love this xSteamed...I'll steam veggies for myself, and save some for the fish...unseasoned, of course
Mine won't go for raw carrots...try steaming some of yours, and see if your BNs go for them
Your fish will thank you for itDefinitely doing a kebab for mine now. Love this x
Guppies liked the carrots more than anyone, but I think I should scoop them out. Bristlenose sampled and went and found a rock to clean today, I put the steamed pieces in on the 23rd. Cories said no thank you, we prefer bug bites.
I've tried raw veggies in the past, it seems that by the time they soften enough for the fish to show interest, many days have passed, and I worry about spoilage in the tankTry not steaming it. Veg (plants) give off different compounds (ie flavours?) as they soften, and different fish prefer it at different stages. Some like it soft, some like it hard.
Never tried these....peeled grapes may be OK, but I would think pineapple is a bit too acidic to be safe in a tankI'm thinking they don't eat grapes or pineapple?
