I would cut then boil for maybe a couple minutes. Not even sure cucumber needs to be blanched as its pretty soft as is.

Also, the fish may take awhile to realize its food. The first couple times I gave Zucc/Squash, my pleco didn't eat much. Now he devours it.

Cut then boil always works for me a couple of minutes is usually enough.
