Fresh food (veggies/fruit) for Comet Goldfish a good idea?

I regularly feed my 2 large 3-year-old comet goldfish their usual
pellets, and they appear healthy and happy in their new 33 gallon
tank. However--despite the fact these pellets claim to have
everything the fish need--I'm thinking of throwing in fresh food, such
as finely chopped mango, strawberry, etc., maybe some veggies (soft
ones, of course) to vary their diet

Is this a good idea? Are there any fruits or vegetables that they
shouldn't eat? Do you think it would be better for their diet to
receive such stuff?

Thanks,

Adding a plant that they can munch on would be good them for them.
Anacharis is a favorite of Goldies.

Well now we have a confliction of the self appointed GURU's on feeding
greens and veggies or so it appears...........Looks like ALL Posts
will be under close scutiny and subject to objection...........or at
least that seems to be what TYNK wants since she seems to want to get
the group wars crap started agin...What say you TYNK...........you up
for another but much extended round of USENET crap?
