What fruits and vegetables are fish able to eat?

Foods Suggested – Plants and Algae Live plants and algae are a good start for feeding your fish, but you should not rely solely on them. True herbivorous fish tend to suffer in aquariums because there is simply not enough natural plant matter to feed them adequately if only live plants and algae are available.

You should also supplement their diet with algae wafers and herbivore-specific flake foods. Fish Flake Food Vegetables and Fruit You can feed your fish vegetables such as zucchini, peas, lettuce, and spinach that have been blanched. Vegetables are abundant in the minerals and vitamins required by herbivorous fish.

Additionally, you can feed your fish small amounts of fruit, such as apples and pears. Vitamins and Dehydrated Foods Herbivores also require a variety of supplements; see the section on omnivores for more information. What Fruit Can Fish Eat

I would not feed fish citrus, garlic, or onions. However, certain fruits, such as watermelon and banana, are safe to feed to fish. However, fruit should be fed sparingly, and any uneaten fruit should be removed from the water after approximately two hours, as it will foul the water.
Vegetables, on the other hand, are much safer, but they must all be blanched before being fed to fish. I usually microwave vegetables with water for 30 seconds, then give them to fish when they are cool. Cucumbers, zucchini, cabbage, brussel sprouts, lettuce, and peas, either washed fresh or frozen but not dried, are acceptable vegetables. Don’t forget to de-shell the peas before dropping them into the fish. Each aquarium is unique
some fish will enjoy one type of fruit/vegetable but reject others.
My fish dislike brussel sprouts but adore peas. Only a few of my fish were interested in cucumber, and getting it to sink was difficult, so I now only feed them peas.

Cucumbers, zucchini, oranges, apples, and other fruits and vegetables are favorites of fish and snails. Simply do not leave them in the tank for more than eight hours. However, blanching the vegetables first makes them easier to eat. Garlic is extremely beneficial for fish, but only the juice.

I’m so happy I discovered this thread. Thank you for providing this data. What is a blanching exactly? Is it scalding? Consider microwaving in a small bowl containing water. I am not particularly skilled in the kitchen.

I also read that blanching is fine for spinage.

Yes, blanching is simply drying it out. Placing fresh, clean water in a bowl and then heating it to kill bacteria. Allow to cool, then serve.

Blanching is briefly immersing an item in boiling water ( the actual time depends on the vegetable). Do not add cold water and heat it.

Can they consume cherry tomatoes?

Not suggested. Tomatoes and other “wet,” “acidic,” and “powerful” foods should not be fed to fish. Zucchini, cucumber, and firm vegetables are preferable substitutes. I believe cantaloupe can be given, despite the fact that sugars in fruits can promote bacterial growth if stored for too long.

I’ve fed my fish tomatoes on multiple occasions, and they absolutely adore them. I leave it in the tank for approximately half an hour and then remove it.

Hello, I’m not sure if you will receive this, but I purchased a solid metal coil for my fish tank to weight down food like cucumber for £5.49 for two on eBay.

Actually, garlic strengthens the immune system of fish! I feed my fish minced garlic once per week to prevent pop eye and other related diseases. Additionally, it stimulates a fish’s appetite. So it works wonderfully when attempting to acclimate a fish that refuses to eat.
