Hi Guys! I'm new to this excellent site so please be gentle with me!

I wanna ask about feeding cucumber to fancies.
I heard this is good fresh food treat and I wondered if anyone had any problems with it with there fish.
Is it Ok for digestion/swimbladder probs? I presume you remove the green skin and chop into little chunks first!
It's mostly water so I'm guessing it won't cause any problems, is it any good for fishies? Thanks guys

i ahve fed it, but mt GF didnt like it but yeh remove skin and feeed in small bits as a treat also de-shelled peas are good. very good for SB probs.

I gave my GF peas for dinner.
Theres one haklf which i didnt mush up because i didnt realse you had to and they've been chasing it round for a good 10 minutes.
Silly fishies.

Tried the cucumber thing as well...my gfs didnt like it but my pleco used to LOVE sucking on it.

I cut my cukes into slices,and cook until semi-soft,that way the Goldies have an easier time eating it,and the cuke will float to the bottom.They all go crazy,but I'll tell you that when it comes to the Veggies,my Moor's turn into Pit Bulls! They grab a hold of that cuke,and just start shaking the heck out of it!

Thanks guys, very interesting, tried with ollie and bumble today but they did'nt like it at all - in fact they found the little green lumps a bit scary - they do look a flourescent in the water I must say so I don't blame them!

plecos would love cucumber more than goldfishes.

how big of a slice would be good???

Slice it thin, pop out the seeds and quickly nook in a lttle water to soften. You can then cut it up in tiny bits, or if it is real soft, thy should be able to tear it easily.

i tried feedin my gf's cucumber but they didn't seem to like it,but my koi did( ).
try feedin them peas,they love em
