Herbivores and several omnivores do.
I'd blanche / cook it to soften.

I've fed romaine. Iceberg lettuce isn't very nutritional. But as @DoubleDutch says, blanch it or give it a shot in a microwave to soften it.

Thanks for the advice.
I will blanch it.

Some fish will eat lettuce, others won't.

Dark green leafy veges are better.

Blanch them for 30-60 seconds in boiling water so they are easier for the fish to digest. Make sure they are free of chemicals.

Marine alga can also be fed to freshwater fish. A lot of Asia food shops sell dried and frozen algae that can be used.

I used to put lettuce in for my BNC's but my angels would eat most of it (unbalanced)!
I also had a hatchet fish that loved his spinach (frozen, chopped)!

Hello Stripy...

Iceberg lettuce has no nutrients. I would stick to products that are made specifically for fish. Spirulina is an excellent nutrient for fish. This is one I feed all my fish.

Fish will eat all sorts of veggies....yellow squash, zucchini, green beans, carrots, cauliflower, broccoli...all blanched, or steamed

My otos enjoy fruits, as well...watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew melon

Well, this goes for all of my herbivores and omnivores. And also my shrimps love it!

I like to put very controlled portions of food into my tank. I find the idea of feeding all sorts of vegetables into a tank is uncontrolled and causes a lot of mess. I would rather just feed two algae discs; I know where they land, and I can see if they have been eaten.
