Administrators Zenzo Posted September 23, 2021 Administrators Share Posted September 23, 2021 I would think that in most cases this would be a bad idea. Not only are our needs different physiologically, but the dosing would most likely be extremely challenging to get correct (unless in a laboratory setting). In my opinion, if you feed your fish quality foods and offer a varied diet, it should not be needed. There are fish supplements that you can buy if you are concerned though.

Guppysnail Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 I add vitachem for fish in my repashy. I would also fear needs/dosage as well as the additives and coloring/ binding agents in human vitamins. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biotope Biologist Posted September 23, 2021 Share Posted September 23, 2021 As has been stated above it would not work without good measuring equipment and patience. Which is all unnecessary since not only are fish foods typically combined with vitamins already, but if your fish has a specific deficiency it should be targeted and prescribed by a vet. Human multivitamins are designed to dissolve in aqueous environments and absorbed through the stomach and possibly saliva. Since our fish friends live in an aqueous environment it would just disperse in the display tank and not actually make it to the fishes gut where it can be absorbed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
