So I try to supplement my fish' diets with veggies when possible. Well I tried quinoa this morning with my fish. Apparently, it is the fishy form of crack. Of course the mollies went nuts for the stuff but my jack dempsey did as well. Normally, she loves veggies anyway but she was in love with it. Which made me happy bc I love to make her happy. :) Has anyone else used this for their fish? And before anyone asks...

Was it cooked or raw?
 
Cooked. It was left over dinner quinoa. No salt or anything. Just water and quinoa. I would be hesitant to feed the dry stuff to the fish.
 
Tried it ourselves once but not a huge fan, preferred bulgar as an alternative grain.
