with the zuchinni it works just as well to freeze the it. the freezing destroys the cells and makes it more easily edible just like blanching, but with out the scalding hot water or you tossing burning zuchinni between your hands.. plus frozen you can keep the food alot longer.
edit: yea they waste alot plus there vegetables bring down water quality fast, so theres something to watch out for.

yeah, definitely by a pack of algae wafers cuz its just a lot easier, give em those and then once a week or whatever give them melon, potato, or zucc as a treat
Whoo-hoo! Congrats! You couldn't have started with a nicer plec 
I've got 2 L190's and 2 L191's that I really adore. They're great about eating anything. Zucchini, squash, mango, sweet potato, bell peppers, cucumber, peas, beans, etc etc. Mine also love algae wafers, Tetra granules, Cichlid flakes, bloodworms, brine shrimp-they'll eat about anything. They're real still during the day but after lights out they come alive scrounging all over for food. I just got a brand new baby (3") L190 the other day.
