obie trice Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 hey all, just new to the BN babies... when u feed them courgettes, do u chop slices and just put them in the tank? they float so is it better to put them on the gravel and put a bit of a rock on it so it stays on the bottom? cheers Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sharn Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 i normally get a largish rock and just tie a slice on with a rubber band Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farmchick Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 i find poking a teaspoon through it works well. It sinks and is also easy to get back out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tsarmina Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 what i do with corgette is: peel (have found that my fish won't eat the outside) slice drop into a pot of boiling water for 1 min spread on oven try, cover and freeze (this stops pieces sticking together) once frozen, remove from tray, put in bag and put back in freezer. when you feed them, pull out required amount of pieces and drop in tank. As the corgette defrosts it sinks making it easier for the bottom dwellers to get to without having to add any foreign objects to the tank to hold it down and no chance of it dislodging from a suction cup and floating back to the top.

Keri Anne Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 My baby BN LOVE the skin. I simply slice, stack slices in a sieve, put sieve in a pot of already boiling water (it will stop boiling) wait till it is boiling again, count to 30, remove sieve and plunge -sieve and all- into ice water. I then freeze as Tsarmina does. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meesheelly Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 I have found mine like it fresh better, tried frozen, boiled and microwaved but fresh is best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keri Anne Posted August 25, 2006 Report Share Posted August 25, 2006 LOL it may depend on the indervidual fish :bounce: they can be fussier than humans at times. :roll: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
