I agree with everyone on feeding a good pellet, I feed nls, pellets from Ken's fish. Ordered the vegetable sticks and most of my fish love it.

I used to feed veggies, and it was cool when my fish were 4-6 inches. Now, they're 10-12 inch, full grown vieja......veggies are just a huge mess in the tank. And they fight over 'em, too. They're not worth it.

I just feed pellets and call it good. NLS. I'm thinking about going to Xtreme.

I fed dandelions to my Cinethichthys bocourti, pearsei and Etroplus suratensus. These species are all known to take terrestrial vegetation in nature. I also would raise hair algae in my ponds, and in winter de-shell frozen peas.

There are even salt water species that eat leaves from tree, I found these grazing from tree limbs in Mexico.

Very cool info

For severums, any high quality pellet should be fine as a staple diet. If you want to supplement veggies, I've found most of my fish will chow down on romaine lettuce, especially my bocourti.

Algae wafers are good. My syn and rainbow who are primarily veggie eaters love them.
