Cooked chicken livers

[billylee]

Has anyone tried these as food for their fishes?
I just tried some raw livers and my oscars and jardini
loves them. But, I was thinking of cooking the livers
next time I feed them.

Cooking the meat will remove alot of the nutrients in it, I wouldnt do it

Like another posted; cooking the meat is unecessary. With any meat (veggies too), prolonged heat not only changes the consistency of the flesh (sometimes making intake and digestion more difficult), but it also removes a lot of the natural fats, acids, minerals, etc., etc. Nothing they would eat in the wild would ever be cooked, so there is no need to do it now (even if the little chef in you is dying to go 5 star on 'em). And as a side note, some foods have actually been known to become toxic when cooked/over cooked. My best advice - - They eat it raw = They like it raw. Don't mess with success.
