feeding

when feeding lettuce to your fish how do you prepare it does it have to be boiled first.

Boiling it gets rid of nutrients so no, just weight it under a rock. Only try a little at first and the ordinary round lettuce is best. You could also try cooked spinach or defrosted ready cooked, again only a tiny amount. My guppies eat about a 20th of one leaf, but you can always eat the rest yourself.

Iceburg lettuce is pretty much just water, and useless. Leaf lettuce is best (boston, romain, spinach, etc). I use a suction cup clip to stick it to the back wall, sort of looks like a plant that way.
