How to make veggies sink

If I wanted to put zucchinI or some other vegetable in my tank for my snail and other Bottom Feeders to eat, how do I get it to sink? Do you just blanch it or what?

 

Blanching works. You can pin it with decor or a fork or something. After an hour or so it won't be buoyant anymore. Unless you're doing something leafy.

 

I just put a rock on mine

 

I use kebab sticks and pin it to the substrate. Works like a charm!

 

Or you can put it on the side of the tank really low to the ground and clip it with one of those veggie clips that are made specifically for that.

 

I used my veggie clip, thanks!

 

I've used a stainless steel fork and it makes 'em sink quite nicely.
