I always read that your supposed to give the goldies lots of different fruits and veggies......but how?? huh.gif
I have veggie clips that I use for the snails, and the GF snack off them too.

I only give lettuce, dandilions, spinach, adn leefy things....how are you supposed to give oranges and beans and grapes and stuff?? blink.gif


wouldnt they just mush in the clip?? how do you present them? huh.gif

With veggies, it's best to cook them soft, like if you are going to give carrots, brocoli, or anything that is hard to begin with. Just drop little bite size pieces in, you don't need to use a veggie clip....don't worry, they will find it....if it even makes it to the bottom before they scarf it down lol.GIF . Same for fruit, like bananas, strawberries....cut into little pieces. With an orange, take a whole section, peel off the outer membrane, drop it in, and watch your fish attack it like little sharks. By beans, you mean green beans? If so, then you should cook them soft and cut into little pieces. I do hope that's what kind of beans you meant. blink.gif rofl3.gif We don't want our fish blowing bubbles out the wrong end.

When I give mine zuccinni squash I slice into half moons, cook until soft and just drop it in. It keeps my goldies busy for a long time. They eat the inside and leave the shell. When it's cleaned I just take the shell out. The squash will bounce around in the bubbles and the fish love to chase after it.

I've been doing oranges the same way, half moon. The goldies always seem to get the pulpy part out and leave the membrane hanging to the peel, then I just take the peel out when they are done with it.

For me the oranges do mess up the water. I don't feed them oranges too often. The other vegetables don't really make too much of a mess.
