thanks!

should i boil the veggies 1st?
tried dropping a piece of squash .
but it may be too hard...

how about green peas?
should veggies be boiled 1st?
or do i just drop them in?

thanks!
 
sliced cucumber or other vegetables as mentioned above soaked in water. attach to a clip or blanch to encourage sinking, leave in for at least a few days.
good luck
:)
 
When I buy a zucchini, I cut it and put it in a zip loc bag in the freezer because I don't use that much at a time. So, I boil mine for about 45-60 seconds, then let cold water run in the pot for awhile. My plecos like it better when it is boiled because it's softer. I put in a few pieces sometimes right when I get a fresh zucchini, but they don't like it as much as when I boil it. I bought 2 little rocks which I rubberband the zucchini to.
