Feeding Convicts and Jack Dempseys

I would not feed them carrots. They are meat eaters.
 
Meat eaters, eh? Check the definition of omnivore.

I'm not sure if I'd feed carrots...but zucchini, shelled peas and romaine lettuce would all be good choices for some fresh veggies in your fish's diet. Along with spirulina based flakes or pellets. Along with a high quality staple food...and some other "meaty" foods as well.

Well, sorry==didn't mean alllll meat, but you right ==a varried diet best. I would much rather feed him veggie flakes, spirulina, ect then terrestrial veggies.
