| How do you prepare the veggies or fruits, can you just slice a piece and put it in there? Other than the skins that you have to remove... for a cucumber, do you have to do anything other than wash it?

| yea, you can cut a slice and put it in, weighed down or in a veggie clip. i'd peel it unless it's organic to reduce the risk of introducing foreign chemicals to the tank and your fish. | |

| Here's some cool cucumber shots.
In the last one, there's a riot between two platys, two mollies, one shrimp and one pygmy cory for who'll get the best bit. | |

| And another cucumber shot. This time two otos upside down.
And no, the shot is not upside down. The mollies were so brutal about eating the cucumber that they shifted it round and it ended up up from its veggie clip. | |

That cucumber skin is what's left if you leave it in overnight in the molly/oto tank.  | |

| And more cucumber shots.
The first one is my mollies and otos on a piece of cucumber.
The second one is my orange-spot (at least I think she is) pleco fighting for a spot on the cucumber with the mollies as usual. | |

| My Pleco loves the Cichlid pellets. He races my oscar and Jack to the surface to get em....then when he gets one in his mouth he floats to the bottom upside down because he is so focused on keeping that pellet in his mouth.....its quite funny... | |
