My fish eat Brocolli

Dog Boy Dave · Jun 6, 2013

Keep a bag of it frozen in the freezse. Microwave it long enough to thaw. Chop stems in legth so hey stay together but are alittle easier to break up and drop it in. Every one loves it. They eat lots.

I have had all the fish for six to nine years. I have been feeding broccoli for about a year. Before that they ate squid, clams and nori. They still get the squid, clams and nori as well as the broccoli.

Awesome vid and amazing tank! Thx for sharing!

Broccoli is rich in vitamin C I don't see why it cant hurt fish need their vitamins just like us. At least nobody in ur tank will catch a cold.

Terrestrial vegetables can be very difficult for fish to digest due to the cellulose, so you're much better off with something like nori.

Also, it's been shown in studies that vitamin C does nothing to prevent the common cold

Indeed indeed I don't even like using pellets that have veggie protein in them. I didn't know that about vit. C but it does help the immune system being its an antioxidant.

Here's a quote from the JUL/AUG edition of CORAL Magazine in the article "Tangs" by Robert Fenner. "I will offer my usual admonition regarding feeding terrestrial vegetation to marine organisms: salad ingredients and grocery produce items have vanishing little food value for our livestock and sometimes deliver surprising concentrations of nutrients and pesticides that we want to avoid."

How do you keep the powder blue so healthy? Any tips

I read in another thread a lady had inquired at her lfs if it was okay that she gave her fish fruit and had already been feeding them all kinds of vegetables (cucumbers, peas, carrots, etc) for some time...
