    Default Fiber content

    Dear friends,

    For last batch of my discuss food. I used green peas . I removed outer layer by soaking them in water for about 4 hours.

    And grind them and mixed with beef heart mixture.

    But what I noticed was they tend to left the green peas parts in the food and eat beef heart only.

    Did I do anything wrong here ??

    This was my first time to use green peas in discus food.

    I get the feeling that they cannot chew it because grind green peas parts may be hard to swallow .

    What can I do to get rid of this. ? ultimately they dont have a good fiber content in their food.

    And I have seen ppl adding bananas to food. Is that a good replacement for green peas ?

    Cooked collard greens or spinach works well. Green peas need to be cooked if you use them...it sounds like you just soaked them to remove the shell.....try cooking them first.
