Lol! I had a question though, when you say cucumber, do you put in a whole slice of cucumber? Or do you chop it finely? Many people have mentioned putting in fresh veggies but its always confused me as to how they are to be presented to the fishies

Will guppies eat them also?

Cucumbers are usually just chopped to make a small 1/2-1 inch slice. Sometimes people blanch theirs, others just sink it to the the side or bottom with a veggie clip. Whatever works for you. Hope that helps.

most fish eat peas, its very good for them especially if constipated, as for cucumber i cut off a slice about 1cm thick, stick a stainless steel spoon through it and put it in the tank, my guppies, bettas, neons and shrimp eat it
