yes but no seeds
uummm like Furr sure OK.
You can also try slices of zucchini or cucumber, spinach, and dark green lettuce. Different fish have different tastes but most varieties of Koi, goldfish, and carp will eat almost any kind of vegetable matter you give them as a treat.
You should always blanch vegetables that you’re going to get your fish. Which means dipping them in boiling water for about 15 seconds to soften them up. Just remember to let them cool down to room temperature before you give them to your fish.
Oh my god, like totally. LMFAO.
Good luck

Yes. I give them grapes all the time. THe colored grapes are good for the color of the Koi.
i feed my kois with bread =P they like the bread xD
aardvark374 is exactly on target. Your Koi would love that kind of stuff!

Koi (and goldfish) like, and need, veggies and fruit in their diet. Grapes are an excellent food to feed them. Green or red. Remember to remove the skins, however, as they can’t process them very well. Also, koi (and goldfish) can’t process sugar really well, so don’t feed a lot of fruits. Veggies should be fed more often than fruits. You can feed such things as dark green lettuce, spinach, thawed frozen peas with the skins removed, steamed broccoli or cauliflower flowers, cucumber, zucchini, oranges, grapes with the skins removed, kiwi fruit, various melons, strawberries, etc. Try anything you can think of. They might not like one thing, so try another. Just remember to remove anything they don’t like or don’t eat all of so it doesn’t rot and foul the water.
