Gourmet Hints For Livebearers

[dwarfgourami]

My family is getting rather bored with eating peas and spinach every week "because it's good for the fish", broccoli is expensive and we have just worked our way through the annual courgette glut (so nothing that looks like a cucumber).

Any other suggestions? Something we could all enjoy. The children will eat anything veggie (never mind the bloodworms), the livebearers are only marginally more fussy. What might my platys enjoy?

My fish love Red lettuce like Russo. They do not get thrilled about the green kinds of lettuce and do not really go after the red stuff untill it has been in the tank for a day or so and starts to wilt a little. My Pleco and Clown Loaches also prefer the reds as well.

Thanks I'll try that. I had noticed they don't seem to care much for the green lettuce.

I put some Carrotts into my tank yesterday, finely chopped up, and my Silver Dollars went wild for them lol They gobbled them all up in a few mins

Claire, were the carrots raw or cooked? The orange color would go nice with my Swordies.
