25gl. with rosy barbs, neon tetras and a golden algea eater. All i've ever fed them was flake food, but i'm noticing people are feeding their fish all kinds of vegetables and stuff. Should i start doing this to? is there any specific vegetables i should be feeding them. letuce or something. and... why? and what else do you feed your fish?
should i be feeding my fish salads?

I personally like to give my fish a varied diet, that way they get different foods and nutrients. "salad" is not required, but my fish LOVE cucumber... I also feed flakes, freeze dried bloodworms, FD tubifex worms, FD brine shrimp, and algae wafers. Check the articles, I think there is a sticky about feeding vegetables, you can get more ideas there 
What kind of algae eater is yours? I feed my Pleco and Otos cukes every week. I blanch it for 5 seconds, and cut off the skin. I drop it onto a rock and let it sit there over nite. By the next morning its almost gone.
