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. :p

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.

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

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