Feeding Venison to fish

[dthomasi]

So, hunting season here just ended, and while I was eating a chunk of venison steak, I was thinking...

Would it be safe to feed chunks of venison to my fish? I know venison is very lean.

What's the general opinion on this? I'm not planning on doing it except maybe as a treat, as I feed hikari gold and massivore, I'm more just curious.

I think that it is ok to feed your fish mammal meat every once in a while.

i might try this with my aros. theyll like it better than your whitetail since its elk, though


if its super lean, i dont see why not, esp when a lot of ppl feed beef heart

The beef heart comparison is what I was thinking too.

On a side note, I can't wait till I have the cash to hunt in a state that has elk (besides the farms in the Lower Peninsula here)

i've never heard of this before... lol
i would imagine big catfish might like it. i'm not sure how receptive cichlids would be though...

Haha, I should probably get a medal for that or something. I think I'm going to try it tomorrow morning, I'll let everyone know how it goes.

good idea I might too


try it yet?

 

[dthomasi]

I tried it earlier today. My GT didn't seem to like it much, he just chewed it for a while then spit it out.

More for me.
