they cannot digest land based greens very well mostly it causes diarrhea. in teh
case of dandelions they may be toxic. Ingrid

Bob the spinach was a great Idea. I have taken a can and put the spinach in
ice cubes. My goldfish just love it. The cube is chased all over the tank.
Thanks for the reply Enjoy the day

Bad for fish. Oxalic acid in spinach blocks calcium uptake.
Fish digest plant proteins better than meat proteins; look into duckweed.
