I don't mean this as a flame, but a question from a newbie. I thought
terrestrial food isn't has good as food derived from marine sources.
Have you had good luck with spinach, peas, and garlic?

Hello Kurt,

Terrestial food is probably not as appropriate for fish as water-based
plants, but they all eat it and appear to love it. Of course it is
minced up with prawns, bloodworms etc., so the taste is "disguised". I
do not feed lettuce etc. by itself, but many people do. I feel that
the main concern about feeding "supermarket" human food is whether
insecticides, fungicides etc. are still present. I intend to grow
spinach and other veg. organically next year.

Regards, Fishnut.
