FishRFriendz Posted August 17, 2017 Report Share Posted August 17, 2017 Has anyone tried feeding Jalapenos or other peppers that have high heat? Serrano, habanero... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chappy6107 Posted August 18, 2017 Report Share Posted August 18, 2017 no, but I have seen some diy fish food with some sort of pepper in it. I have been curious about this myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DevinB Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Peppers,tomatoes, potatoes,and tobacco are part of the nightshade genus of plants and create an alkaloid known as solanine which can be toxic to even large mammals. I would avoid it in shrimp Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DevinB Posted September 9, 2017 Report Share Posted September 9, 2017 Probably worth avoiding for fish too, I have never risked feeding it to see how it effects fish or inverts but I would imagine its toxic to them as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
