Paretroplus maculatus and fruit

[Hybridfish7]

I know they need a more plant based diet, but anyone know if they can eat fruit? I know vieja love fruit and have a similar diet, so was wondering if p.maculatus could too.

In nature they feed mostly on crustaceans and snails. They also do eat plant matter. Which often comes in the form detritus.
So I think feeding fruits and vegetables are a nice addition to their diet but not their staple food.
