I find this Banana thing very interesting though. Thanks for the post. Looking forward to hearing from others that have tried. I know in the past I have tried spinach and brocolli with little interest. Can't say I have ever tried banana though.

Did you you try to feed your fish raw brocolli .It is to hard for them.All my fish including my lionfish eat it .Why spinach.There is high iron in spinach.

how do you guys feed it? i tried awhile ago and the banana got all mushed in the nori clips.

[DEAD_BY_DAWN]

Well the technique i used was this
Walk pasted my tank remember some post of canreef about some guy feeding his fish bananas and threw in a small chunk and observed

[Der_Iron_Chef]

Yup. Just toss a small chunk in. I think I may try a steamed piece of broccoli tomorrow and attach it with a nori clip. Less mushy than banana.

My puffers apparently love banana. Its never hard to get them to try new things since they bite everything that goes in the tank but I was surprised at how much they ate.

None of the other fish wanted it. My rabbitfish tried but spat it out.
