Veggies For My Mollies

[Leeore]

Hello all

I searched and couldn't find a post on this. I was curious as to what veggies my mollies can eat? I have 1 sailfin black molly and 2 dalmation. I currently feed them tropical flake and the occasional cooked shelled pea, but iv read they need more than that?


Thanks

hum they can eat tried up baby shrimp i feed mine that sometimes though i would have some one else suggjest things, i am sure more people will comment and give you info but peas are all i know

Peas, lettuce, cucumber, carrot, and other things can be fed. It is good for fish to have a varied diet, I don't see why vegtables are NEEDED as you say. Flake from a good brand provides most nutients.

i agree with llamalord

If you feen lettice then you need to blanch it first (30 seconds in boiling water)

I am a huge fan of spinach. If it's good enough for Popeye it's good enough for my fishies

To feed any leafy veggies simply pop them in the freezer for at least an hour and defrost before feeding. I find it way easier to keep a sandwich bag of mixed leafy greens in the fridge than to go Gordon Ramsay every time my fish want a snack.

mollies can be feed vegitables,it's very nice to know.
I belong to a very strictly vegitarian family,
but i have to feed my fishes those floating balls of fish meat.

it would be nice to know which vegitables can i feed and how to feed.
