Nope. Really can you feed bits of carrot to your fish?

I gave a little piece to one of my roomates red devils. HE ate it but is it ok to do?

yeah. why not?

carrots contain beta carotine - thats a naturally occuring food coloring - which will enhance the red in certain fish. I've seen no ill effects.

our texas has had a variety of foods, from roaches, carrots, spinach, lettuce etc etc

i have a friend that used to feed their fishes frozen beef heart which they froze themselves. there are some plecos that require wood in their diet....
