Hi guys

I have 3 orandas, and I was wondering does romain lettuce have the same benifits as peas ( bladder wise )

In my experiance... All fresh vegetables act like a mild laxative when they're eaten by goldfish.

I had tried feeding romain lettuce to my guys and they didn't care for it. The water content in the lettuce is prob much higher than the peas. The peas are an excellent excellent supplement to your fish's diet. They aid greatly in digestion and can also help with swim bladder disorder.

Mine don't care for lettuce at all. I put it in for my snails and the goldies ignore it. They don't care that much for peas though, either.

Mine refused to even look at lettuce. In general though, I think peas are more nutritious - but that doesn't mean you can't give them both!

Same here. Mine dont like the lettuce. They did like boiled brussel sprouts though!!!!! Mine dont really care for the peas...well...they eat them, but not so enthusiastically. They like a treat of tropical fish food flakes or tubifex better.

my fish love peas. my black moore likes lettuce...i guess he's a strange one

Does anyone know how many peas to feed a blackmoor per week in the hope that he won't get swim bladder. I tend to feed him 1 dried sinking food pellet a day (I think its Tetra, the new food brought out especially for blackmoors and oranders) I since have been told to soak dried fish food for 10 minutes before feeding the blackmoor and I should also feed him peas and lettuce. He hasn't had swim bladder yet but I am pertrified that he may get it. I am a little worrier on the quiet.

How do you feed him the pea and lettuce?

Thanks for your help

Thanks guys, for the quick response
