You can leave it overnight if you want to. If your fish are loving the cucumber why do you feel the need to take it away?

 

[jhelen]

They might gorge themselves on it and burst ..lol not really, i'm just a worrier

 

[fufanu360]

oh and betta lol :$

 

[jhelen]

I am not too sure on that but i THINK so

my platys eat it

I dont have any of your other fish though

I give my little fishes a slice of cucumber every now and then. First I slice, and then I boil them to soften them up. I also leave the skin on to hold the slice/s together, but this is really up to you.

The bigger the chunk of cucumber the more chance it won't get eaten, and it'll go bad quicker in the heat of your tropical tank. This will pose a dangerous threat to your fishes if they eat decomposing food.

jaime007, I'm not sure you have any fishes that'll eat cucumber, but there's nothing wrong in giving it a try. However, your crab should enjoy it.

 

[jhelen]

i'll take it out in the morning..if its still there

it's only a little chunk

 

[Wyld-Fyre]

A couple days old slices shouldn't be a problem. The most I've left is about two days, and by then the slices including the skins have been eaten.
