Would it be O.K. to feed guinea pig mix to tads?

fish powder because it contained animal material as well? (microinvertebrates probably are fed on as well on the leaves.) What kind of fish powder do you recommend?

I just purchase what ever is cheapest or on special offer at the pet shop - there's not much difference between fish foods - they are mostly just fish meal and things like wheat and corn meal.

What do you think of the Guinea Pig mix itself?

What's in it? If you're talking about a general guinea pig food, those tend to foul the water very quickly.

Mostly alfalfa, some corn, I think some wheat. The water is quite green now, but I wonder whether that is a harm.... other than a reduction in oxygen.

It's safe to use but as I said it will foul the water quickly. Fish flake is safer that way.
