ADMWNDSR83 Posted September 20, 2020 Share Posted September 20, 2020 I decided to give my clown pleco and cories a special treat, and last night I dropped a chunk of zucchini into my tank following a method I think found on YouTube, using a bullet sinker stuck in the center to weigh it down. Tonight, when I got home from work, the tank is filled with seeds and pieces of the zuke, and the large portion is split into sections, floating on the top. Wish I had a video feed to know what happened! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Travis Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I blanch zucchini and green beans to make them soft and sink then serve them in a glass petri dish to help keep them contained. After they have been in all day and overnight carefully lift the dish out and usually take a bunch of "pest" snails out in the process. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do it all the time and it always works for me 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RyanR Posted September 22, 2020 Share Posted September 22, 2020 I blanch my zucchini and it sinks right away. I freeze what I don't use and when I feed the frozen zucchini, once it defrosts, it sinks right away. Every once in a while, I'll see some strings floating around, but those get picked up by the filter or sink and get eaten. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaveSamsell Posted September 23, 2020 Share Posted September 23, 2020 @ADMWNDSR83, We have a fairly large vegetable garden & our organic Zucchini was exceptionally well this year. I like to grow our own plants\ vegetables since no pesticides are used, etc. 🌱🌿🌾🌻🍀🍃 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
