Stainless Steel as weights for food

[bigbird]

Hello All,

Has or does anybody use stainless steel nuts or bolts etc to hold down the food for the plecos ? I know of the company in the UK who sells the srewthings, but they are only available on the net or order, so maybe would use stainless steel ? any ideas ? cheer jk

I use SS eyebolts. Just be aware that cheap SS will still rust, though the amount of time they are exposed to water probably won't cause problems.

I use stainless steel clothes pegs

Should work well for you..... Personally I use ss meat skewers.

I use a fork at the moment for zucchini and a small skewer for peas.

I use ScrewCumbers.... They work nicely (Marine Grade Stainless Steel)

forks here :thumbup:

Cant beat a good fork will upgrade to a screwcumber at some point i think

 

[Catfishman]

I haven't used a fork :->..... I've used a spoon, But I didn't use a fork cause I read it pokes the plecs mouth. Is this true? If not I'll try a fork probably will hold better....

?do you de-shell the peas?
peas sink! if you use frozen peas put them in a boil with warm water they will defrost then squeze them the peas will come free from its shell, and it will sink.

as for keeping other foods down I also use a fork i have a few of those screwthings but dont use them as much as forks, I find it easyer.

there is a guy from here who sells them, should come up from a search

just attach a peg to a small piece of slate, some fishing line/ braid. No more wet hands. I have a pic somewhere

i use a length of straight marine grade SS rod to feed my Bn's and plecs there cucumber, etc.
i did roll one up at work so it looked like those screwcumbers, its works ok , it can be a bit difficult to get food on it but it does the job.

My husband has stollen my GOOD forks from my GOOD cuttlery set and straightened them in the vice to weigh down his zucchini.

Hence he is still living in the dog kennel and owes me a new expensive set.
