Well iceberg lettuce is probally more popular with Americans than romaine so it might be iceberg it come like a cabbage a round head Where romaine is taller and the lettuce leaves grow straight up and usually a little darker green than iceberg. Maybe that'll help you figure it out.

Neon_Tetra · 11-13-2005, 02:50 PM

Hmm do fish eat it?

amelia · 11-13-2005, 02:59 PM

Fish can be picky. Some fish might eat it, while other fish of the same species may be uninterested.

Neon_Tetra · 11-13-2005, 02:59 PM

Yea cause they didn't touch i at all

**fish_doc** · 11-13-2005, 03:14 PM

You could try and soften it up a bit by boiling it up for a couple minutes then letting it cool before putting it in the tank.

DUSTIN323 · 11-13-2005, 03:18 PM

Yeah I don't if fish will eat both types or not but some might some might not

My fish like romaine or iceberg lettuce. Your fish just probably aren't familiar with it/used to it so they aren't eating it yet. Just leave it in there for a while and they might eat it. My fish don't usually eat it until it's been in there for a little while and softened up some. Or you could do what fish_doc suggested.

Just my experience, if it makes any difference...
