Various Vivaria Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I have a surplus of bananas and I was wondering if I could feed some to my community tank. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scott P. Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 I have seen videos of shrimp eating them. Also a few fish but they didn't seem as interested as the shrimp. Give it a try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Various Vivaria Posted September 24, 2021 Author Share Posted September 24, 2021 Will do, thanks @Scott P. Everyone seems very interested, but no one has bit the bullet yet (pun intended) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NanoNano Posted September 24, 2021 Share Posted September 24, 2021 Banana peel works great and snails love it. Banana fruit is like adding a big dose of Bacteria AE to your tank- it degrades quickly and ends up coating and "sliming" nearby decor and glass. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah if it were me and I wanted to try it, I wouldn't leave it in there very long. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Various Vivaria Posted September 25, 2021 Author Share Posted September 25, 2021 Of course I was stupid enough put the banana slices in my tanks then walking away and not checking until this morning. The little banana slices were enough to cause an amonia spike. My advice to anyone trying this, put it in very small amounts. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you thought of using the bananas for bread and smoothies? Never would have thought to give to the fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
