Feeding

[puppyjess123]

Okay so i finally got my mum to bring home some pea's and cucumber

This is such a noobie question but its better to be safe than sorry - anyway how do i feed it? Do i have to heat them up, put them in the fridge for ten mins or what? And how much cucumber shall i feed for a common pleco and albino pleco. This is gonna be a weekly thing by the way along with the brine shrimp. Also how much should i feed the peas?

Can u stick a metal spoon through the cucumber to weight it down

as long as its stainless steal it will be fine, as for peas, boil or microwave them for a few seconds, let them cool pop them out of the shell and squeeze between your fingers then feed

My local aquatic shop gave me some weights... like the ones used for tropical plants to hold them down.
I cut a big wedge of cucumber and stick the weighted strip through it.

Don't worry i cut off the ends of toothpicks stabbed them through the cucumber then shvoed them in the gravel
