[emma12321]

This is what is left of the cucumber i put in last night (I put it in the middle of the tank so you could all see)

Greatly appreciated Emma, Even my angelfish started to have a go as you can see in the 1st picture!
Any other idea's of feeding?!

i jus use lead (same as u get on plants) to weight the cucumber down.

like to keep my tank looking natural and altho the forks a really cool idea it wont look to appealing.

Suppose but the fish love it!(Especially if you keep pleco's)

hahha, i could only use one piece because i only have albino cories, and they dotn have enough suction to stay on pieces in the air, so ill post pics of what i did, 1 cory ate a whole slice so they must like it. Great idea emma!

My corys never seem to bother until its been in all day and by then the snails have usually eaten most of it. I use plant weights in the other tanks but they get lost in the sand it this tank with the loaches thrashing around.

The loaches seem to think cucumber is a great place to sit, but they do eat the middle out of it.... Specially the black khuli. I've seen the swordies havong a go too... Note to self, must get some snails to save me having to try to take it out.

fed mine cucumber last night for the first time. i just clasped a piece of lead weight on the edge of it and dropped it in. sunk to the bottom and stood upright on its side

but thats a cool way of doing it heheh

Hi Emma might be a good idea to put a bit of fishing line on the weight then you could retreve it like the fork Ivor
PS some great ideas here im getting some cucumber in the mornning
