feeding fish canned seafood? - Page 2

Often, dog food is unsuitable for dogs as well. I learned this after working in a pet store, so many foods are full of wheat flour and by-products and fillers and preservatives and all kinds of crap that is terrible for dogs to eat. There's a reason why so many dogs die from liver or kidney failure. SO sometimes feeding dogs human food is even better, if it's well planned. A lady who used to come in for dog treats fed her dog potatoes, vegetables, and raw meat-the dog(a greyhound) lived to be 17 years old.

Many fishfoods contain a bunch of crap that isn't very healthy for fish either. THere's no harm in experimenting with feeding unconventional foods as long as you're careful

Feeding cucumber, zucchini and lettuce to plant-eating fish is pretty common in aquariums. The Chattanooga aquarium feeds a lot of fresh "restaurant-grade seafood", shrimp, squid and the like. Research your fish and what is good for them.

i have seen the kitchen of the Pittsburg PPG Aquarium.modern sleek,stainless steel.you open the freezers and they are filled with shrimp,squid,lobster and other fish.and great big jars of garlic cloves on the shelves.they will take a whole fish or squid and stuff it with the garlic cloves.then feed them to the fish..
i have made a number of types of frozen fish foods over the years.i used shrimp,squid,fish,and beef heart..and often mixed in carrots,peas,spinach,strawberries and a couple of other items.it can be a bit of work;but actually worth it.

Honestly I dont think that the fish would be to happy if they found out that they were eating other fish like "canned tuna" or stuff like that =]
