LOL, your a bad person doing your homework at the last minute

corys don't naturally eat cucumber out in the wild but will eat it in captivity. In the wild they will eat worms and insect larvae as well as scavenge food from dead fish and other creatures in the water.

juvenile discus should be fed 2-3 times per day so they grow quickly.
Adults can be fed once a day under normal conditions. If you want to feed them more often that is fine too.
If you are trying to bring adult discus into breeding condition then feed them 2-3 times a day with meat foods like prawn, fish and worms.
Discus are carnivorous and in the wild they will eat insects and insect larvae (bloodworms, mozzie larvae), small fish, tadpoles, small crustaceans (copepods) & shrimp.
