Is that zucchini and how do you prepare it?

[kyangelsncorys]

yes thats zucchin i only wash it in cold water and cut it in 1/4 each tank gets 2 1/4 at each end if its babys in the tank, just one if its all adults

[ree123]

rinse, cut, stab to weight it, feed. simple as that. they eat it raw. they love the peeling too ! i think it is their favorite part.

[kyangelsncorys]

im going thru 3 whole zucchin everyday with the breeder tanks and the grow out tanks for the fry

[davidtcb1]

I washed and cut one in a strip the other day and fed. The one pleco in the tank was dead the next day, so I was curious about boiling, etc. to ensure getting any pesticides off. How long do you leave it in the tank?

[kyangelsncorys]

if i put it in monday morning then i take it out tues nite if there is anything left to take out but i also run about twice the filteration that is needed for most fish

David, I have had some plecos die after zucchini also. It has always been the young ones, and I suspect they eat too much. I only feed mine zuke every so often smaller pieces now. Has anyone else experienced this? (Note I used to nuke it in the microwave for a minute or two so it would sink, now I just stick a fork to sink it and I haven't noticed any problems)

[kyangelsncorys]

I HAVE WELL OVER 500 FRY AND ADULTS HERE AND I HAVE A FEW EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE DIE BUT THATS PART OF NATURE , I KEEP ZUCCHIN IN MY TANKS AT ALL TIMES. if you want your fish to grow thats the only way to get the max growth out of them

[belxavier]

KY I was kinda thinking it was just natural selection as well but wasn't sure after someone else mentioned having issues. I am glad to hear it is not the zucchini since it is such a easy food and they love it so much.

Sometimes our fish just die for unknown reasons. I have never had any die from eating zucchini or yellow squash, although I have read that folks have wondered about the seeds in cucumbers getting lodged in their throats. I don't use cucumbers unless I scrape out all the seeds first, just in case.
