I'm half tempted to throw a small chunk of banana in!

Just to back Rob up, banana is good for the fish, and I have fed it before and some of them actually ate it.

How do you feed it? Just toss a chunk in and let it float around?

Smaller chunks maybe? I remember trying to feed banana a few years ago after reading this thread, http://canreef.com/vbulletin/showthread.php?t=4695&

... but my fish sort of just looked at me funny as if I was some strange alien. Well, I mean, more so than usual.

Although after re-reading that thread and seeing Emilyb's comments about her CBB liking banana, I'm tempted to try again, just to see if my CBB will try it too.

Doug, lots of the fish tried the banana, even the tangs. But my tangs ate anything, so who knows. I did soften the brocolli when I tried it, although I never made a habit of feeding it. My tang was around almost 9 years without it, so they don't NEED it, and I'm lazy.

I know I shouldn't be laughing but for some reason these posts are funny. Thanks for the late night laughs, Drew. Maybe it me invisioning this in my FO tank and what my puffers will look at me like.


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.
