Weird question: are avocados toxic to saltwater corals and fish?

[Miami Reef]

This question has been on my mind for an embarrassing amount of time.


I’m just curious — I won’t be dosing portions of my guacamole anytime soon.

Not trying to be cute…. Try it and find out. Just know it’s a dice roll

I’m only asking because avocados are known to be toxic to many different birds and mammals.

I’m wondering if it also applies to aquatic life.

I think persin toxicity is in relation to mammals, not inverts or fish.

Are you saying I can’t share my chipotle bowl with my tangs?

Had a guy back in RC days that “fed” his tank like that…. “It is natural, so why not”

He collected pine pollen by the dustpan full and would dump it in.
