Varanids in the wild eat virtually anything they consider food, "healthy" items or not.
I`d be interested is seeing a few pics of your Water monitor/s if you have any, plus details of age/length of time under you care, etc.

I no longer have my water monitor but when I did have him he was under my care for almost 3 years,( before I moved and had to get rid of all my animals) and this isn't the wild this is captivity, Yeah they eat almost anything in the wild they can get a hold of but in the wild you don't know when your next meal is going to come either, and when I make comments about the fish like that it comes from people like Crusty who have been breeding monitors far longer than anyone here and I'll take his advice over anyone's.
