Subject: NANFA-L-- tofu for herbivorous fishes?

For those who keep herbivorous/omnivorous fishes:

I recently had a large sailfin catfish (Pterygoplichthys) die and
wondered if
it could have been due to a nutritional deficiency. The fish would
occasionally eat algae wafers and pelleted food, but its principal foods
(his
choice) were yellow squash and zucchini. Two friends (one a
physiologist,
the other a health food enthusiast) suggested tofu
