I stick mine under a piece of driftwood b/c I don't cut a piece big enough to sink and I have not found a clip that I think would work very well

i use a fork and zucchini much healthier then cucumbers. IMO.

Squash/Zuch. is better for them. I just stabe w/a fork and drop in. I place it in at night and remove in AM.

Hi, we use a metal nail to weight ours down! By the morning, it vanished

I just put my Zucchini in the Microwave for 10-20 seconds then run it under hot water. This seems to do the trick to make it sink on it's own, then I just drop it near the opening in the large piece of driftwood my plecs call home. I wake up in the Morning and it's just a dark green ring with no inside left floating around the tank, sometimes I can't even find that.

i rubber band it to a rock and let it sink.. plecos need a varied diet, just like your fish (not just algae wafers). my pleco loves cauliflower, brocolli stems (not the heads-they are too messy) zucchini, yellow squash, cucumber.. and i have heard they lOOOVE pumpkin.. im going to try that. ive also heard they love cantalope and honeydew-but havent tried those yet either...
