Hi i put cucumbers in my tank for my plecos to eat and i was wondering if it was ok to leave it in there until they finish it or take it out because it would pollute the tank thank you!

yeah, you can leave them in...just make sure you dont leave them in too long. if your plecos are eating on them, then leave them in until they finish. if they DONT start eating them within a couple of hours, i would take them out. IMO. 
Yup, I rubberband my fish's cucumber to rocks and leave it in for up to 2 days. It never lasts that long....
For cucumber i'll leave them in the tank overnight, and remove whatever is left the next morning.
Might sound like a stupid question but I feed my pleco zuccini with the peel on and he devours it all...Anyway, do you guys peel the cucumber?
I never peel the cucumber, since my pleco loves to eat the peel, too. I think it's good for them, so you should leave it on.purblind said:
