    Oddly satisfying to watch. I really really like those really long fin Shubunkins

    Peas sound like a good idea to add to their diet as our fish more than likely eat more algae than you think out in the pond which helps with digestion, I have to get some more Northfin Veggie pellets as I ran out a few months ago, I think the kelp in it as the first ingredient is good for them, I'm also feeding a few times a week the fish fillets, they like them, I would say feed your fish like you did in this video for a few weeks to see if you notice any improvements, Thanks for the shoutout Chris!

      I think you are right. A good variety of food is best.

    That's great that everyone took to the peas and shrimp! Lots of protein and fiber. I'm a little surprised about the barbs liking it so much too. Definitely a success 🙂👍

      I was very surprised to see the barbs go wild for them... I will feed them frozen 1-2 times a month

    Peas and shrimp, what a tasty combination. 🤣 I feed my koi as well as my bristlenose and spotted raphael catfish peas and cut up mussels and they all love it. A wonderful and healthy way to enhance their diet. No doubt your shubunkins and barbs will benefit from their new treats as well.

      @stubbsaquatics6080 sounds good. Have you done a long-term review of the glowrium aquarium light yet? Mine have been doing great, and I did talk a few others into them now. One with an enginerding background who dismantles lights to verify build and component quality

    The guy feeding the frozen peas is on to something. I feed peas a couple of times a week, if I remember. I use frozen shrimp and cut it in small chunks. I think my fish love shrimp day, they act like sharks.

    • @stubbsaquatics6080

    I feed mine frozen peas. I microwave mine for 30 or 40 seconds & then cool & peal the shell off. Wasn’t sure about can peas due to the salt content.

    • @gayefanner731
      @gayefanner731 Месяц назад +1

      You may find there’s no salt anymore in tinned peas, as in England. I had to peel mine and even squish them for my White Clouds! ✌️

    • @stubbsaquatics6080

    Your beautiful fish certainly loved their new menu! I gave my minnows some peas a few weeks ago n they said they’d eat them if I took the skins off! They were true to their word! I wondered, as peas have a laxative effect, if it was sensible for me to serve them too frequently?! Of course my fish are minuscule compared to yours and I’m still feeling my way regarding feeding. I’m only used to aquatic invertebrates and they look after themselves, given all possible components of a balanced ecosystem. God bless you, Chris and have a peaceful Christmas 🙏✝️. ✌️🇷🇺☮️🇺🇦✌️.🙋‍♀️🤍🇮🇱✌️

    I always blanched frozen peas and sqeezed inside of the pea out into a dish I never fed the skin of the pea. My Orandas and Ryukin loved it. Love your shubunkins! Oh ya I also would presoak pellets to hopefully avoid Swim bladder.

    Great update Chris. They say "variety is the spice of life" so why not try it? Now you know they love it. They're all looking great. It was fun watching them enjoy a change in their diet. What is your plan for that? Once a week, or more frequently? Just curious. Thanks for a great look at the Shubunkins 🤗

    • @stubbsaquatics6080

    • @stubbsaquatics6080
      @stubbsaquatics6080  Месяц назад

      Great point and yes I am. They will only be getting this once or twice a month just for gut health until they go back outside... The barbs will get it once a month

  • @greenmachinesweden
    @greenmachinesweden Месяц назад +1

    That really takes me back to the 90s when we made our own "shrimp mix". Peas, spinnach, shrimp, beaf heart and algaes. It was great for ciclids. More green for Malawi and less for discus. But I am not too sure about canned products. Around here it contains way too much salt. We always mixed fresh products and freezed it. Great vid as always.😀👍

    • @stubbsaquatics6080
      @stubbsaquatics6080  Месяц назад +1

      I normally would give them frozen peas but ran out and had one can of peas.. so I will definitely keep the sodium down.
      Fresh food is always the best

  • @Gilsfishroom
    @Gilsfishroom Месяц назад +1

    I had a Black Moor floating upside down, so I fed it mushed peas. Had to put it in an empty margarine container and feed the pea with a pipette because it couldn't control its movements enough to get to the food. Fixed the fishy right up. I've feed greens to goldfish ever since.
