I've been meeting a lot of people online, reading lots of posts, since creating this blog. One common feeding theme has been lettuce - apparently goldfish love it! So, I tore up a few pieces of romaine tonight, partly to feed the snails, partly to see what the fish would think of it.
Brutus was the first brave soul to take a bite. Good little man didn't even regurgitate it out :) Garbage-guts Blitzen, much to my surprise, was hesitant for a good hour!
Perhaps they are just not used to it, or perhaps Romaine is the wrong kind of lettuce, but either way: they much preferred their standard flakes/bloodworm treat. SO FAR. If green is healthy for us, it must be so for them? :) I am going to pursue this fresh food/greenery. At the very least the gf will be amused.

ReplyDeleteBut i allready fed mine oranges (open the slice and pic the little bells out of it)
Peas: you have to remove the outer skin (helps them to digest better)
Cucumber: they didn't really like it but the pleco just loved it.

Hikari headgrow.
once a week they get live food (bloodworms - arthemia)
If you want i can post you my food shedule..
oranges!! what an inspiration! I will try that too. I never really know if it's worth the extra money getting the fancy goldfish food - we don't have much available to us at our local pet store. Anything with spirulina sounds perfect, would love to give some to our munchos. We give bloodworms almost every day. Is that too much?
