Anyone tried giving them cooked eggs from a hens??? Mine seem to like the yoke and whites mixed together and cooked. The like to nibble at them in the tank.

nibble but it is there left overs?if not GB if not well they eat it with no choice since they think your forcing them!

Sorry but your post doesn't make any sense to me!!!!

all my goldfish like the yolk and whites except for my asian carp

It keeps mine occupied for ages and I don't have to fed them for a couple of days.

it also gives them lots of protein... yum

oops srry lol I sometimes studder on th typing..because I lose track from watching tv and type it againw hat I meant to type is do they eat it as like a main course or as a treat because they may have no choice and my goldfish hate em like I do I feed em bits of watermelon.

I would not feed more then 1 egg to my goldfish once a week it's kinda
like people? No more then 4 eggs a week because of the high cholesterol it wouldn't be helthy for them... it isn;t for people.
4 eggs is the max,(for a week for people) but it would be best
like 2 or 1 egg a week for a human.. Not to healthy but yes it's high in
protien....

Always intersested in new foods? Are these eggs scrambled or hard-boiled. or other?

Hard boiled would be ebst it's alot easier to just simple get the yellow

The yellow of the egg is where the fat and cholesterol is. The white is pure protein. Cholesterol is only found in animal fat so the whites, being all protein, have no bad stuff. The yellow falls apart and makes a mess int he tank too. The white stays solid and leftovers can more easily be picked out.

You could make the yellow into a gel/paste

I wouldn't feed the yolks if i were you. The yolk has too much fat in it and it might not be good for your goldfish and it would cloud up the water. The egg whites will be good for them though. I know the yolks are only used to feed fry.

I hard boil the egg, and then chop just the whites into bite sized pieces... the fish seem to get a real energy boost after this.

Kinda like a kid the day after Halloween!

That's the best amino acid breakout I've seen.

JoAnn Burkes uses eggs instead of gelatine to hold one of her recipes together. She uses the whole egg, and it's pretty high in fats and cholesterol.

I'll see if i can pull down info on the yolks.

ok... here's egg yolks.
