<br>

<br>

I had a piece of lettuce. Washed it well and put it in the tank. The oscar, barcoo grunter and others especially texas cichlid loved it.

<br>

<br>

What other greens do people use?

<br>

<br>

I heard zuchini is a good one.

<br>

<br>

Thanks.

Oh yes, silver beet. Just go a bit easy on silver beet/spinach because of the oxalic acid content, which may be toxic in large quantities. Although David has frozen spinach as one of his ingredients in his home made recipe. Perhaps the oxalic acid is modified by freezing/cooking? Dunno. Don't want to risk it. Oxalic acid is what makes rhubarb leaves poisonous.

Probably most of the vegies you would eat would be OK so long as they like it and they don't pollute the water. Make sure there are no contaminants on/in what you feed them, fish are little and may be more susceptible to them than we big people.
