Fish & Peas

I understand mushy ones go well with a nice bit of cod

I use frozen garden peas.  Cook them as usual. For my 6 Cherry Barbs I pull out no more than 2 peas, allow to cool and then take off the outer skin.  The middle of the peas then get chopped into very small pieces (they have small mouths but do like to nibble). Some people squish the middle bit, but I haven't done that yet. I leave the bits in for a few hours but take out what they don't eat.

I have clown loaches and congo tetra and they all love these just cook in the microwave let them cool and feed away. My bristlenose love them as well if they are quick enough. Take the casing off the seed otherwise you have this floating around the tank causing problems. Have also feed them cucumber, courgettes and potato. Just to watch the congo tetra eating these is great. They will chase larger pieces around like footballs. That reminds me need to buy 4 more congos can have a home and away side then

I think my chopping / squashing skills aren't quite up to scratch, as the pieces in the end are a little big. However some of the more adventurous fish are nomming away despite this!

I was attempting to mash them like that but failed... maybe next time!! However they did all have a good go at eating them ha, just trying to recover the bits now ^^;

Stupid question no. 479:

Can you give your fishies a mushy pea?  Or must it be only garden peas?

Thanks

Hi Colin,

Yes, I do my own mushy peas, from dried.  I can't stand them myself (it's a north/south thing) but I have to cook huge great cauldrons of the damn things....and they stink the place out!
My husband thinks he's funny, telling people that I 'pea in the kitchen'......oh, how I laugh

I might give them a go though....cheers
