I don't know if they eat them in the wild. But my reds ate peas quite a bit when I threw them in there.

 

like can green peas ? did you notice a change in there color ?

 

Not sure if they changed or not. Was my first shoal so I was such a noob. Not unlike now really.

 

apparently mine will eat carrots and cucumber...

 

Best bet is to stuff whatever you are feeding with spirulina pellets or flakes.. That's how they get their fibre in the wild.. From the bellies of their prey

I'm sure some eat fruits and nuts but I wouldn't go throwing in bannanas and cashews in the tank

 

aight cool. thanks

 

carrots are great for coloring fish but good luck feeding them carrots
peas are loaded with vitamin C which boots against ick.

ive never got any P to eat veggies....supposedly rhoms in the wild,
their diet consists mostly (not all of the time) veggies and nuts
then comes the flesh when found.

 

Mine bit into a spoon that fell in the tank....lol...plastic spoon, he carried it around the tank...

 

thats some funny shyt man, do it again and video it

 

LOL

 

I try carrot once, but my rhom took it in his mouth for 10 secs, swim with it, and leave it on the gravel.

It was cool to take it out and check the mark of his teeth

 

If you're wanting to feed them vegetables you should try making your own fish food. You can mix whatever with fish/shrimp pieces, blend it all, and it'll be all the nutrients but taste like fish for them
