Hi i have a 12" gibby and 2 s8" gibbys and a clown plec and a 168 and 2 bristle nose in a 220 gal they are eating 1/4 of a zucchini every night between them as well as wafers and some of the sinking pellets , since i started with the zucchini the water gets very cloudy between water changes is there anything i can do to stop the cloudyness?
 
I put in half a zuccini and half a cucumber every night. I put it in there at around 6pm, and I take it out around 10 or 11pm. I'd try this, and just figure out how much food they can eat in this time frame. If you leave it in there overnight it tends to make the water cloudy. I've found a slice of sweet potato doesn't cloud the water if in the water over night, and my plecs love it aswell.
p.s. PICS!!!

Just started by own mixed pleco tank, a 150. So far I have a beacon, a blue phantom, 2 pellegrini's, a sunshine and 2 royals. I am looking to add L24 or 25 but cant find them.

I know L24 and L25 are on the banned import list but does anyone have any suggestions on where I can find them?
 
pics please :D

about 5 inches each $300 each
i dont know if they ship, you'll have to find out
;)
 
i add romaine lettuce in between zuchinni and cucumbers.... alternating it helps plus the lettuce does not cloud the water.
 
zuchinnis cloud my water if they're left in the tank too long. I don't use them anymore as I use more other veggies- sweet potato is one of the favorites for the plecs I have in the tank
