What do you think?

I was wondering wether I should feed my tigers lettuce? I know they like cucumber; but what about lettuce? I use to feed my silverdoller lettuce and he loved it.

Scalded lettuce is enjoyed by most Barbs, as are bolied shelled peas.

ours love lettuce - blanche it (pour boiling water over it for a few mins) first as it softens it then peg it down in your tank & if they dont touch it the first time keep trying. dont leave it in too long though, take it out after about 2 days or you'll have mouldy lettuce bits all over your tank as it dissolves

>>> good foods for them..

Errrm, well read the above. That, some decent flake and a bit of frozen bloodworm every now and again.

My tiger barbs love lettuce as well as shelled peas and cucumbers. I blanche them all with boiled water, and then allow them to cool before putting them in, but they seem to love it all. I dont think there is anything that you could put in there that those little pigs wont eat LOL . Mine also eat flake food, shrimp pellets, bloodworms,, basically everyting. The only problem i have with them, is trying to get them to share with the rest of the fish. LOL

Hi,
My tiger barbs LOVE bottom feeder pellets treated with a few drops of liquid garlic!! I had been putting it in the tank to lure my loaches to eat when they were new...and the tiger barbs try to hog it all. Try it.

Hi, I cant get my tigers to eat lettuce. I,ve tried it a couple of times but I find it the next day untouched. They do however like brine shrimp very much. I have a lot of fun holding a block of frozen brine shrimp at the waters surface and watching the tigers come racing to the surface to get a bite. They make the funniest poping sound when they do that.
