Fishy 101 question

[Missie]

Okay, you all know that I get to ask the really 'obvious' questions. I'm fishy illiterate...but atleast I am trying !!! )


I hear everyone talking about what they feed their fish...even "people" veggies. What "ppl" food can they eat? How do I prepare it? What would be best?

10 gal
2 m platies
4 danios ( I know danio2004, but I didn't know when I got them that it is a bad
thing )
3 corys
1 golden mystery snail

Thanks!!!

I have a bag of frozen peas in my freezer for my fish (I hate peas ever since I saw the Excorcist ).

I take a couple out, let them thaw, and then peel the skin off. I then cut them up or kinda crush them a little in my fingers.

I know some people feed their fish zuchini. I believe they boil it, skin it, and slice it, but I'm not sure.

These "people" foods are not meant to replace your "staple" flake. Maybe once a week. Fish like an assortment. I recommend feeding them frozen bloodworm a couple times a week. I personally have about 18 different fish food and 3 different frozen foods. I also stay away from freeze-dried foods, they lack nutrition.

Here's a recent thread where members talk about veggies:
