Pears

Safe Fruits

Fresh pear flesh is safe for most aquarium and pond fish in small quantities, provided the core, seeds, and skin are removed first. Pear seeds contain amygdalin, a cyanogenic glycoside, but the real concern for fish is water quality rather than direct toxicity. Overfeeding any soft fruit can foul the tank rapidly, so moderation and prompt removal of uneaten pieces are essential.

Clinical note: Safe fruit treat; seeds must be removed; monitor water quality closely.
