Ham and Bacon?

[Dudzy]

Is it safe to feed my Barras ham and bacon?
I don't see why it would be, I just don't wanna risk them getting sick so I thought I might ask first.

Too many fats for those two. I do feed slices of hotdog to my fish but only once in awhile.

Fair enough, I might just use it as a treat once in a while.

Most fish have a hard time digesting mammalian proteins, as well as the fact the food is terrible for them. They don't need it, so don't feed it.

Its not even safe for humans let alone fish.

Ham, bacon and sausages contain preservatives and possibly nitrates- not good for fish (let alone us).

Just give them pellets, mussle, whitebait etc...

agreed, fresh seafoods are the way to go, especially shrimp and tilapia IMO. I've always been curious about the digestion of mammal parts, since many folks do feed beefheart occasionally

Beefheart isn't good for fish either. When do you think a fish would ever come across a cow to eat?
