I thought this tip might be useful to those with small goldies.

I like to feed my goldies fesh foods like peas, melon, lettuce, etc. Well, my fish are still quite small. The lettuce is easy because I can just clip it to the side of the tank. But with foods like peas, grapes, melon, cucumber and so on I found that it was time consuming and messy trying to mince them into small enough pieces.

Here's my little trick. I use a garlic press just like this one. I just pop the amount I want into the little resevoir and, presto, instant perfectly sized peas or what have you. Simple as that!

Hope that it's a help to some of you! :)

:D Excellent tip. If the garlic crusher can crush garlic it can crush anything.

I actually got the idea when I was making some pasta sauce and thought the same thing as Siansy said! It really does work nicely. :)

They make clips that you can buy in a pet shop. It works on the same pricipal as a clothes pin with a suction cup attached.
