feeding clown loaches

i would like to try cucumber......what is the best way to keep it on the bottom ???

I have a couple of blunt-ended stainless forceps left over from an earlier project. I just cut a cucumber or squash round and skewer it onto the forceps and drop it in. I've seen other people use plant weights, and I think there's a corkscrew contraption you can buy that's made for just this purpose.

use the lead weights from plants IMO

They sell clips with suction cup so you can stick it to the bottom of the tank. I just lay a piece in between the driftwood and use the wood to hold it down.

and at one of my LFS they have a "net" thats rubber that holds food in it and you stick it to the wall with a suction cup. its like a sheet of rubber about 6in long with quater size holes and it folds over on itself and holds the food.

I use a fork with a piece of string tied to it (makes retrieving it a bit easier). My clowns prefer zuchini over cucumbers but will take both, i think the zuchini is a bit less messy also.

I remember seeing a thread they got the metal skewers and blunted the ends and put food on them then dropped it into the tank.

Cheapest solution ever: Stainless screw.

I got a fishing sinker and threaded wire through it then just used that. heres a pic.
Its ring on the bottom, I'm not quite sure if you can see it.
