Regular Member mickeyrom Posted March 15, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted March 15, 2015 (edited) We like to give our two GF, small, veggies. We give them cukes,spinach and brocoli. How long can we leave this concoction in their tank safely? They love the brocoli especially. Can they overeat even on veggies ?

Regular Member jmetzger72 Posted March 15, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted March 15, 2015 Do you blanch the veggies, first? What are cukes? Cucumbers? I have found cooked broccoli to stink up my water 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member GoldenSpoiledRotten Posted March 15, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted March 15, 2015 Broccoli is also a veggie that has been known to make fish gassy. I'd feed that very rarely if at all. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Regular Member Chai Posted March 15, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted March 15, 2015 I'd leave it a couple of hours. I've left lettuce in over night for them to eat it while I sleep, thiugh. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have found cooked broccoli to stink up my water :thumbdownYes Yes they microwaved for a few seconds.In water of course. I know what you mean about the brocoli, much to my disgust. I changed 1/3 of the water. Do you think that was enough? I can still smell it. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought of that after we gave it to them and it wasn't the first time either. I know it gives me gas. They do love it, probably because it's bad for them. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Regular Member jmetzger72 Posted March 15, 2015 Regular Member Share Posted March 15, 2015 I would just forego the broccoli. Blanched lettuce and zucchini work well and red leaf lettuce can be offered raw on a veggie clip. I feed blanched zucchini to my Plecos and leave it for about a day if it lasts that long I will also add that, for Goldfish, I only offer aquatic veggies such as algae gel as part of the regular diet unless there is a problem such as constipation that warrants the feeding of terrestrial plants. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
