From what I have read, it isn't ok to feed fish to beardies because they would never be eating them in the wild. CWD's definitely would be. I put the fish in Rikutu's dish to start with, and he looked at it, but didn't try for it. So I took it out of the water, held it by it's tail and offered it to him. He took it right away, actually he ended up shaking it onto the wall, so I picked it off and gave it to him again, at which point he ended up eating the top half and shaking the tail against the wall again, so I gave him the tail again. He seemed to really love it. I tried giving him another one, and he tried to eat it, but it was slippery and wouldn't stick to his tongue, and he got tired of try to catch it so I threw it back in the water (the fish is fine, btw, I'll try it again when I feed him tonight). It really was a tiny fish, I don't think he'd have as much trouble with a larger one.
