I have two BNs - one Rio Ucayali and one Albino Sp.3. They're about 3" and 1 1/2" respectively.

I feed them Hikari sinking wafers, zucchini and cucumber. Once in awhile I stick a few bloodworms in the zucchini slices. I tried peeled broccoli stems, but neither would touch it.

What other veggies can I give? Should I blanch these veggies first? Things like string beans have such a tough skin I can't imagine they could easily be eaten.

What about fruit? I want my fish to have a good diet.

You cold try scalded cabbage leaves, lettuce, cooked green (french/dwarf) beans, cooked peas, seaweed sheets (for aquarium use), slices of raw potato. if you have something in mind, why not give it a try, but obviously watch carefully. I use cooked brocolli which my synos eat & have tried loads of different stuff, with some success & some failures

Thanks! I'll try some of your suggestions. Never would have thought of raw potatoes!

Hi,

About the raw potato, it need to be removed before it trouble the water (about 24-36hrs)

See you,
Matien

Thank you Matien! I do change the food every day.
