Feeding Convicts and Jack Dempseys

[FrWhatItsWrth]

Is it true that I can feed them carrots? Also, how do I go about doing this?

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.
