I forgot that I'm supposed to feed my fishes beef heart and not beef. Is there anything wrong with feeding them fresh or frozen beef instead of beef heart? Like is beef bad for your fish? :eek:

to much fat
I use lean meat. Or do you mean beef itself is too fattening?

What kind of fish?
I have Aros, Pbass and Bichers. They all seem to love beef. Hm.
 
beefheart has more than 60% protein and very little fat if prepared properly. Any other part of a cow has a higher fat content and ideally shouldn't be fed to fish
 
Fishes digestive systems are not evolved to process mammalian proteins. Couple that with the unnecessarily high fat content and you have little nutritional value and quicker water fouling.
 
speaking of beef hearts, how do you guys feed them to your fish?
1) frozen and just drop in the tank
2)thawed in water and dropped into the tank
3) some other method
