What Vegies

[Ginge]

Are you fish all good little boys and girls?
Do you guys feed you cichlids vegies?
If so what, how often and how???

well i dont have cichlid pellets yet so i jus experimented with some peas, cucumber and lettuce.


Peas are gone, cucumber is being investigated and eaten by my yellow lab and the lettuce is still where i put it.

Feeding steamed Spinach or Zucchini is good. (It makes the food easier to digest) Also try smushing some frozen peas

Also, try to feed romaine lettuce. It's much healthier than typical Iceberg Lettuce.

i give my community tank some steamed peas which are smushed up and they go crazy. i have not tried remaine lettuce and steamed zucchini yet though

All of the above welll not so much the peas, thats usualy reserved for issues of constipation
romain never last more then a minute and i anchor down the zucc. i like to give it raw, any and all pleco species devour it over night (thats when i feed it or mbuna wouldnt give them a chance)
