Beef heart for catfish???????????????????

[snowhnter]

I have been trying to research feeding fish beef heart. Seems like a great many people use it but is it any good for the fish? Is it really beef? I have read that fish can not metabolize mammal protein well, if this is the case, why feed them beef? Please help clarify for me. Considering trying beef heart for my Jurnese. So far growing VERY slow and will only eat earthworm and feeders.

Should not be the staple food but more of supplements, + beef heart fouls up water pretty quickly so you've gotta keep up with the WC.

all my cats get frozen beef heart, frozen silversides, frozen krill and mainly nls pellets.

My cats and all my large cichlids get hunks of trimmed beefheart, chicken, turkey from time to time..
I havent seen anything negative.
