Food cubes

[Dogsby]

Whats a good way to get say tubifex cubes down to the bottom of the tank so my corys and any other bottom fish can have some?
Any Ideas?

Another way is to press the cube (once wet) to the side of the glass making sure it's at the bottom of the tank!!!

I would stay away from tubifex in any form!!! Even freeze dried tubifex can harbor nasties!!!!

I have also heard of people taking plastic slinkies and using a piece of them and then sticking whatever on them and the burying it in the gravel

HTH

I used a plastiv fork to anchor cucumber for my pleco. It worked very well. I put the prongs under the gravel so they wouldn't hurt my fish.
