bananas

[JeninOK]

So I was making myself a bowl of rice krispies with bananas and strawberries sliced up in it...mmmmmmm lol
So I decided to try the fruit with my loaches. They scarfed the bananas, it was like a feeding frenzy. I only did two small slices and they were gone in about 10 minutes.

They didn't like the strawberries at all, gave them a sniff and went back to the banana so I pulled the strawberry out and gave it my little Goldie who loved it (of course)

never would have thought of a banana.... i know 19 of them can eat 6 bunches of eloda in 1 hour....

What kind of loach do you have eating bananas????

I've found the same with my clown loaches but not all the pieces float to the bottom so they stay away from those. What can u do to accommodate these bottom feeders?

 

[sfranqui_29gallon]

how do you prepare the cucumber? raw?

I will blanch it in the microwave for about 25-28 seconds... (but let it cool)
