Peas, frozen or canned...
Is anyone still feeding their GF and koi peas? There was a lot of talk
about feeding peas a few years back. I picked up a can and tried to feed them to my fish. Only the rosy red minnows and fry would eat them. The adult GF and koi weren't much interested. The minnows and fry left the pea skins behind. Somehow I don't think I'll be buying them more peas. -- McKoi.... the frugal ponder... EVERYONE: "Please check people's headers for forgeries before flushing." NAMES ARE BEING FORGED. My Pond Page http://tinyurl.com/cuq5b ~~~ }((((o ~~~ }{{{{o ~~~ }(((((o |

too, although I'm not sure you'd have to skin a canned pea. I use frozen but thawed peas for the koi, whole. I know there was some controversy regarding piercing the pea before feeding, but I figure if they can eat a snail shell they can sure crunch a pea. For the GF I take slightly thawed frozen peas and run them thru the chopper/food processor. Do a bunch and store frozen. ~ jan ~Power to the Porg, Flow On!~ |

If you are going to feed peas, any variety is fine. Processed peas, whether
canned or forzen have been cooked a little bit which is good. If you are going to feed fresh peas you need to put them on a shallow plate and zap them in the microwave until that just start to steam a little bit. This is to break down plant fibers so they are more digestable by the fish. Don't cook them too much are you just ruining the nutrient value of the peas.
