Do BA tetras eat spinach ?
Drew

quote from another site, they will eat
"Fresh spinach, zucchini, lettuce and peas. Live blood worms, glass worms, brine shrimp and tubifex worms. Frozen vegetable diet, daphnia, plankton, beef heart, brine shrimp, glass worms and blood worms. Flake and freeze dried foods also accepted."

They should, but feed sparingly.

They are mostly carnivorous.

my buenos aires tetras eat *anything*. Between them and the rosy barbs no food goes to waste. Mine like algae wafers too, which i toss in for a treat. But typically i feed flake, freeze dried brine shrimp, and NLS spectrum. The tetras really like the spectrum as it sinks. They will wait for it about half down the tank while all the other fish are going nuts at the top.

This is great to know! I have 4 BA Tetras that I acquired recently. I feed my community tank where they are a variety of foods so I am sure they are happy.
