Hey, I read that I'm supposed to feed veggies to my rainbow sharks. But I can't figure out how to get them to sink to the bottom of the tank so that the fish can get them (all the stuff does is float at the top and my rainbow sharks just swim at the bottom of the tank, they never go to the top).

How can I get the stuff to the bottom of the tank so they can munch on it?

Thanks for any help!

I use a veggie clip or plant weight. I tie a long piece of dental floss (no wax or flavor or fishing line) to the weight so I can remove it easily. Take out the veg after 12 hours or before it turns to mush. Zucchini is a favorite.

I put a piece of cabbage in my tank after blanching it and it sank like a rock. I didn't think they were going to eat it but when I woke up it was almost all gone. Plant weights sink veggies pretty good. goodluck
