Mmm Bacon

[Seb Spiers]

Can I feed my fish thinly slices/cut bacon? Obviously ill cut it up into tiny pieces.

Would it be better cooked or raw?

You can feed your fish anything that you choose to. I know that processed bacon contains a high concentration of nitrates so you might want to keep that in mind. Persoanlly I would stick to more reasonable food for my fish such as things made from fish, vegetables and insects. Those are the type of thing a fish would naturally consume if we didn't have them locked up in our tanks so they are bound to be a healthier diet.

Bacon is not at all healthy for fish, as a one off it wouldn't do too much harm, but the fish wouldn't be as enthusiastic about it as they would be with things like bloodworm.

Gives you an idea of what you should and shouldn't feed fish.

My Oscars once ate Pork - but its too fatty, and they could digest the fat - so the next day there was white fat-#### all over the tank

What type of fish do you have?Ive never heard of community fish eating bacon or meats I feed my fish fishy foods like mussels and prawns etc. You can feed such things as a small bit of raw steak or beefheart but only as a rare treat as its very fatty.

What's wrong with you!? Don't waste any bacon on your fish! It's too tasty... eat it yourself.
