Mirage Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 (edited) I'm wondering if anyones dealt with this. My fish Pudge will eat, but I've been finding he rejects most fresh veg. Spinach, lettuce, peas and now the formally accepted cucumber are all being rejected. I'm planning on fasting him a day or two to make sure it's just not a touch of consipation but it does have me wondering since I've been told they will try to eat most things that fit in their mouths. Pudge on the other hand is all over NLS pellets, Hikari Oranda and freeze dried bloodworms but the young man hates his veggies!

jvision Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 Veggies are relatively plane tasting compared to NLS. I'd skip McDonalds/Subway at lunch if it meant I could have Keg for supper! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Put that on the list of sentences I never thought I'd type. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WickedOdie Posted September 21, 2015 Report Share Posted September 21, 2015 I heard goldfish love duckweed. I have some you can have for free if you're in the Calgary area. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for the offer but I'm in Edmonton and his little tank now doesn't have a light that will support anything at all really. I'll put that on my plant list for when I upgrade.

WickedOdie Posted September 22, 2015 Report Share Posted September 22, 2015 It's a floating plant also known as aquarium herpes. Hard to get rid of once you introduce it to your tank. Is pretty hard to kill and doesn't need much in order to keep it alive. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
