Huly April 22, 2013 Share April 22, 2013 Protecting his rock! I give him Sea Veggies (green) once or twice a week depending on if we have done a large cleaning on the aquarium. Otherwise he eats the algae off the rocks but he sucks me in as he will sit as his empty nori rock and give me dirty looks (hence the name Homer as he reminds us of Homer Simpson "Doh"). He seems to like the green Sea Veggies and I am trying to get him and Dorrie to both eat the Red Sea Veggies (mixing green and red) but so far the answer is still No green only. Any other idea what might be a good nutritional veggies for Dorrie and Homer? (Hippo Tang & Lawnmower Blenny) Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind April 22, 2013 Share April 22, 2013 Have you tried frozen peas yet? I've fed that to my foxface, trigger, and tangs before. I dont' know if it has any nutritional value or not but they love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe Pez will eat the rest of the bag or it will take awhile to get through the bag as I hate green peas YUCK! Peas are good for humans and furkids so I assume vitamins and nutrition would be similar. Can you use fresh or frozen only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Integral9 April 22, 2013 Share April 22, 2013 My cat loves to eat buttered peas. I'm pretty sure she'll eat anything with butter on it though. After all, butter IS the secret to life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkey18 April 22, 2013 Share April 22, 2013 Ha! My lawnmower's name is Jabba the hut. I'm going to try peas also. Do they have to be frozen? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coral Hind April 22, 2013 Share April 22, 2013 I have used thawed out frozen whole ones as well as dried split peas that I soaked overnight. The split peas work good for smaller mouths. Back in the early 90's I didn't know about Nori so I fed blanched romaine and peas. It is a mild laxative so don't feed this solely as the only food. Some pellet makers list peas as an ingredient . I have read articles where feeding peas can help with swim bladder and constipation issues. http://www.freshmari...quilibrium.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smallreef April 23, 2013 Share April 23, 2013 Mmmmm garlic soaked peas! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huly April 23, 2013 Author Share April 23, 2013 I assume garlic and fishoil would be a good soak? What kind of fish oil do y'all use? On my fur kids I use this: http://www.grizzlypetproducts.com/salmon_oil/salmon_oil.html It is holistic so would it be safe for fish? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mr.x-ray April 23, 2013 Share April 23, 2013 Have you tried frozen peas yet? I've fed that to my foxface, trigger, and tangs before. I dont' know if it has any nutritional value or not but they love it. Peas are very high on the nutritional scale. Lots of vitamins and minerals. Found that thawed out is less wasted and mash some up in your hands or use some kitchen item for the smaller fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homer was slightly picking at it last night while giving me dirty looks then he went off to scavenger for something better. Dorrie says have a nice day not going to happen!
