Hi guys,

Ive heard a few people talking about feeding their plecos peas, are we talking frozen, fresh tinned, garden, processed?


Cheers Mike

I feed them frozen. I thaw them out and then squeeze out of the shells because most of them float. I just feed the shells to my bucket of snails.

I feed Snow Peas. My plecos eat the shells and leave the peas.

Go the frozen stuff as it is more economical, just as nutritious. Peas/lentils have heaps of protein. Just be careful not to fee too much has it will affect the water quality.

I use cooked, frozen ones, basically they get saved some every time we have peas for dinner. then I take the skins off as they can have trouble with that.

what are snow peas??

Hello,

Snow peas are peas in a pod, but flatter than normal peas in a shell.

I boil the kettle, fill up a small glass and drop some frozen peas in there for about 10 minutes then squeeze them out of their shells and drop them in. They fall straight to the bottom (unless the blind cave tetra finds one on the way down and grabs it :lol

I'm not a fan of cooking vegetables for the fish. Just takes away from the nutritional value. If you are going to cook any type of vegetable best way to do it is steaming them.

The best way to cook any vegatable for your fish is to place then in a covered glass dish and micro wave them without water for a few minutes.

Snow peas are a pea with an edible pod. Used in stir fry and Chinese food.

That's steaming them using the moisture they have in them. It might be fast and easy but not the best way.
It's said to be the worst way to cook foods.
Microwaves are known to decrease the nutritional in all foods because of the intense heat waves it uses to cook. It can Aldo cause nutrients to become carcinogenic.
