Feeding Veg/pellets

[Meep]

Hey,
 
So I've not had fish for two weeks, water tests are good so it was cycled correctly and the fish seem happy.
 
I tried putting some Courgette in for them but it got all slimey, bloated looking and clogged my filter - was wondering what I might have done wrong, should I have cooked it?
 
Also feeding the Corys pellets - it says remove the uneaten after 2mins but I've noticed they tend to leave them for a bit to soften before devouring them, is this okay?  The fish are small at the moment if that makes a difference.

Are you putting courgette in for the corys? Corys aren't vegetarians so will ignore veggies, what other fish do you have?
Corys can take a while to eat their food so it should be left in quite a while, which pellets are you using as some soften quicker than others?

Thats good to know thanks.  They do go back to them fairly quickly but I was worried they'd not be getting the nutriants.. by them soaking.
Cute though; they've herded them all together a few times until they're ready.
