Food that sinks?

[SeaweedPimp]

What are some fruits and veggies that easily sink to the bottom without putting a rock on it? (mostly for my pleco)


I tried cucumber last night, but it floated all night and wasnt eaten.

He usually just eats scum/ flakes and im sure hes eaten a bloodworm or two.

Thanks

every heard of veggie clips? u could also just weigh the food down with rocks or wood. there's also algae wafers, they sink.

Blanched zucchini and cucumbers sink. Otherwise forks work great to weigh down food.

So blanching is boiling then dropped into cold water after its cooked?

Make sure you only let them boil for 15-20 seconds then put them in ice water.

Oh, i boiled em for about 60 seconds. my Black moor almost choked on the lettuce piece he ripped off. I just impaled the lettuce with fork and dropped it in. thanks for the tip.

Isnt he supposed to like earthworms? Hes just a spotted pleco from walmart =0
