I don't think they need the extra veggies. Like Bruce and Chris mentioned,
they are very opportunistic and aggressive feeders, eating just about
anything. My darters got a little skinny at first, so I increased the
amount and frequency of feeding. Now, everyone gets along just fine.
BTW, I just recently started feeding a little bit of spirulina flake, which
the stonerollers and whitetail shiners seem to like very much.
