Sinking zucchini

[I31]

if you eliminate any other food source, it might eventually take it as main diet. My plecos usually eat the skin first then the center. I don't feed them everyday so when the zucchini goes in via rubber band and driftwood, they swarm all over it w/in 5mins

i leave it there overnight ima try to boil it today and put some garlic on it and see if it eats it

Boiling turns the zuke into mush faster in the tank, no reason to blanche their foods...

I set whole zukes in my tanks, using ss butter knifes to hold them down.

Used to use rubberbands to secure to driftwood, my plecs are too big for the small stuff, they eat through the rubber bands....

stick pelleted food into the zuke only place in tank before you go to bed..
