Treats for Your Fish?

October 15, 2008 by Kimberly

This past week, I went into one of our local pet stores and noticed something I had never seen before.

I noticed they had thin slices of zucchini in the tanks for the goldfish…I didn’t look at the tropicals.

I had to ask…They said they give them a treat in each tank every day. Sometimes thin slices of zucchini, cucumber or oranges.

Since then, I’ve been “treating” my goldfish with something tasty every couple days.

* Tip: Slice the vegetable as thinly as humanly possible, so that they can actually eat it, and easily. It may be of use to you to use a mandolin or use a peeler to peel the vegetable, but extremely thin.

What I’ve noticed they especially like are Goji Berries! I put a couple dried goji in the tank and it plumps up nicely and relatively quickly. They will all try to take pieces off of it.

Since Goji is the new “miracle” food of today, I thought it would be especially healthy for them. I’m glad they enjoy it too!

Try it with your fish too!
