aros eat veggies?

[señor_pescados_felices]

my leichardti just started eating chunks of zucchini?

can't be bad for him but I'm wondering if he's doing it on purpose or if he's thinking I'm feeding shrimp and just doesn't stop to taste the difference.

The reason I wonder is because he only takes 1 or two and then realizes he's been tricked and stops.

Any your guys aros eat veggies?A long time ago I had a silver that chomped algae wafers.

WTF?

Sorry my loaches like veggies. I'm not gonna stop giving them veggies just so my aro can't get to them,since you seem to think he shouldn't be eating them.

that wasn't one of your better thought out posts Del. It was somewhat snide, without cause, and suggested,without explanation, that we were doing something wrong by allowing our aros to eat veggies.

My aro has shown very good growth (6.5" to now 26" in ~12.5 months) doesn't have drop eye and looks great. A varied diet seems to be beneficial.
