Cucumber

[fish mad]

I judge it by it colour - if its still nice and bright - it can stay in - when it starts to go dull and yellow its time to take it out as its going mushy...

The time depends on how fresh the cucumber is and the temp of the tank

Thanks for the info , tried potato last night but he doesnt like it lol Ill stick with cucumber

I've never tried potatos, but some other things to try are zuchini, spinich and romaine lettuce.

I leave mine it untill all the middle has gone which is normall around 3 days, my rubber nose munches on the out part too!

Thanks for all your replies . As it happens my common plec only took 2 hrs to demolish it. He guarded it with his life so i have put the next bit inside a cave so he doesnt get disturbed. I have another question now though , how often can i give him a piece? Would daily be too much?

Personally i give my plec a slice of potato which he absolutely adores and which gives him a lot of nutrients. I give him a slice once a week for the weekend. Have fun

I have a BN, Clown, Rubber Nose and a Leopard Frog Plec, would they like potato? My Rubber nose and clown loves cucumber , leopard frog prefers peas while the BN doesn`t seen to eat any but poops the most!

I've tried courgette, and that's gone down a lot better than the cucumber. Came back last night to see De Niro (the gibby) chewing the skin off it.

How do I get the cucumber to sink? I bought one and it floats.

Genius! But why not just stick any heavy object in to the cucumber that won't screw with your water?
