Can I boil lentils and feed to my fish?
Is this a good idea?

Which kind of lentils were you thinking? Here's a list of stuff to
try: lettuce (darkleaf), spinach, cucumber, zucchini, oranges,
apples, grapes, bananas, watermelon, pineapple, tangerines,
peas, dehydrated seaweed, shrimp, krill, bloodworms, earthworms
(put in paper towel for 2 days to purge the dirt out of their system).
Plus they may like some other things you'd never think of.

I'm not sure how high the starch content is in them. So, I
would hold off on them unless someone knows otherwise.

They are full of simple and complex carbohydrates. You could probably feed them very very occasionally - like brown rice - but I would not make it a regular thing; the fishie's tummies will probably not handle them overly well.

oh... no reason to feed 'em then... there are plenty of other things to try wink.gif
