Lennie Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 Has anyone tried feeding fresh nettles to their fish and snails/shrimps? By blanching it or something? I’ve seen it in my shrimp food and wondered if anyone tried fresh ones! I found many to collect in a garden without any pesticides! cheers, @Guppysnail @Chick-In-Of-TheSea 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 No I have not tried. I did find this though. https://www.garnelenhaus.com/gh-goods/stinging-nettle-leaves 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think blanching is kinda needed to get rid of the needles on the leaves. But probably drying them also does the same job potentially? As people consume it in teas as well Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted March 4, 2023 Share Posted March 4, 2023 They would definitely sink faster boiled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lennie Posted March 4, 2023 Author Share Posted March 4, 2023 collected some! They seem to have seeds on. Not sure if it would cause any problems 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
