I'm just wonderng if anyone else feeds their fish veggies? I've fed mine Romaine Lettuce, Kale, Zucchini, egg whites and peas. I'm wondering if collard, turnip or mustard greens are okay - I just want to make sure they won't turn the tank green!

I would not try greens. The letuce is good. I have 4 african Cichlids and they love romaine letuce. I even slip them a cricket now and then for protein. The crickets are actually for the chameleon but any esacpee will be put to death by Cichlid Firing Squad. I will try and get some pics of them.
Thanks,

Well I thought about keeping fish. But I read a book on it, and added up all the prices........and lets say I became fully interested in reptiles.

Damien....that's not the answer I wanted! You were supposed to say 'sure, it's okay'. LOL. Any reason why you say not to use the greens? The reason I asked is because I'll have to buy greens to feed my bluetongue skink, but she won't be able to eat it all before they go bad. Other than eating it myself (not too keen on that just yet), I'm trying to find another use for them rather than wasting. It's mostly for my Bristlenose Pleco, but I sometimes catch my other fish sneaking a bite or two.

LOL. Where you looking at saltwater fish? I'd love to try that, but for now I'll stick to my less expensive freshwater fish, reptiles and puppy!

The greens do dye the water a little but its not bad. I tried it once with mustard greens and the fish loved them but like i said it dyed the water.
HeY. You got to beat the right answer out of me. LOL
Thanks,

Yup, I was lookin' at saltwater, I'll never do that again. To much stuff to do and money to sped for something that for me at least dosn't have much payoff. But I'm not putting down anyone has like saltwater fish keeping.

i have a 30 gallon tank with tetras, rasboras, 2 platties, algae eaters, cory catfish and all live plants. i was hesistant about the live plant thing at first but it turned out to be the best thing that ever happened to my aquarium. i had shrimp for a while and i fed them chunks of frozen spinach. the fish seemed to enjoy picking at it too, but that it the only veggie i have ever tried.

Thanks! I might give it a shot - maybe the day before a water change and try to leave it in only for a bit. I just know I don't want to eat the greens - well, actually I don't want to cook them.
