beef heart

[Roop]

i have a 30gal tank with 4 fire belly newts in there. i'm just starting with newts. the people at the lfs told me they like beef heart. i purchased a half of a real beef heard and cut it up very fine. they didn't really eat it so i gave it to my fish in my 55gal. the fish went nuts for it. the mollys, clown loaches and swords were after it. my african dwarf frog tried to swallow a piece that was bigger than his head.


anyways, is it safe to feed beef heart to my fish?

I usually feed my discus beef heart! It is fine to feed your fish beef heart HOWEVER it needs to be cleaned up quickly afterwards meaning a water change. Beef Heart will foul the water very quick and can cause lots of problems. I would recommend feeding beef heart right before your water changes.

It is the preferd food for pirahna. And lots of other fish like it too.

I would like to give it to my fish but it is too hard for me to buy it since I am vegan. . . .

It's great bait if you're trying to fish for catfish.

where do you buy beefheart in stores?

You may be able to buy it in grocery stores. You usually get mine from butcher shops.
