today i went out and bought a bag of baby spinach and fed it to my goldies for the first time wow they loved it!! so, i washed it off and boiled it until it got real soft and dropped it in. this is the correct way of feeding this right?(LOL)

Sounds good. I've heard some people freeze it and let it thaw, but as long as it's easy for the fish to chew I think it's fine. I'm glad to hear that your attempt was successful!

thanks nenn! is it safe to add this green to their daily diet? maybe give them spinach in the morning and other foods at night.

oh that sounds it went well i might try that

If they like it that much, it certainly doesn't hurt to introduce it every day! In the wild or in a pond, carp-derived fish often eat many plants and it's definitely required to help keep their digestive tract healthy. As long as you use it to supplement their staple diet of pellets/flakes/whatever, then it should be fine.

sounds great ill add the spinach to their daily diet along with the other foods they get.

I'm glad your fishies liked it. I tried spinach with some of my fish a while back, prepared the same way and they just wouldn't touch it! I bought plastic lettuce clips especially for feeding greens like that and they don't like it - they'll only eat it in gel food form, Fussy fish!

those are some picky fish huh? im glad i introduced it to my fish it was hilarious watching them eat it! ive got some great pics that im going to be posting up later tonight or tomorrow

My goldies love spinach! They are big ehough that I don't even have to cook it. Just clip a few leaves to the vegi clip and watch it dissapear in about 1 minute.

One word of caution. Spinach has a chemical/nutrient in it that will block the absorption of iron when eaten. So even though it is full of iron you cannot absorb it because of this other chemical. But as long as you are feeding other foods at seperate times your fish should be fine.
