Cucumbers?

How long can I leave a cucumber in the water?

dont leave them in longer than 24 hours.

Usually once your fish learn about them they get eaten pretty quick.

It is floating and I think my fish are terrified of it.

yeah, they arent going to go for it when its floating. try weighing it down somehow. Is it cut long ways or like in a disk? if long ways just put a rock on eather end. Thats what I do

I feed my pleco & snail zucchini (sp?). I weigh it down with a clip. They love it. I replace it every night.

I cut a disc. Just weighed it down. The bala sharks seem to like it.

I provide disc slices and place some weight on it (gravel, ornament, whatever works). Originally I intend it for Apple Snails -they love it. But everyone feels invited. I usually place it late evening, and pick any remains in the morning after.
Amanda: what kind of clip? I'm curious...

My little bristlenose must be a hungry little devil if the zucchini gets lose from the rock he justs goes to the top to eat it hanging upside down.
