just went out and bought squash-zucchini, lettuce, and cucumber..............

[AquariumNoob13]

i cut a slice of the zucchini and tied it to one of the decor. will my fish be able to eat it? or do i need to cut it up into little bite-size pieces?

[AquariumNoob13]

Yes, mbuna have teeth. Put it in there whole and they will pick it off.

[AquariumNoob13]

the entire zucchini, or just a slice?

[tarheels910]

A slice. Make it thin, so it easier for them to eat.

[AquariumNoob13]

the slice that i put in their is a little thick. should i slice it in half?

[elementkid65]
