Cheers all, another QQ if I may. Does it need to be organic or anything. Or will boiling it remove any potential chemicals? I feel strange asking, will this cucumber kill my fish from chemicals farmers have used before then making myself a sandwich with it............ I did see a youtube...

Hi All, I have this currently growing in my tank. To be honest I have not paid too much attention to it, its been there since near the beginning so for around 2-3 months. When first setting up the tank I had terrible Algae issues, likely just new tank inbalances etc. My algae issues have all...
