Hi all

Just wonderinging if anyone else has had the problem where the zucchini cloudds up the tank ?
I put some in and went to work when i come home 9hrs later i noticed the water was a bit cloudy.
All the fish and fry are ok atm but i really dont want to risk it. I done a water change last night and 1 this morning. And its getting better but still a little bit cloudy.
Anyone got some tips on getting ride of the cloud?

Will this harm my fry/fish and how can i prepard the zucchini so it wont happen again. Freeze the zucchini first ?

Inspite of this problem the fry went crazy for it and i would like to keep feeding them it as from what i can gather its one of the best veggies to feed them and is good for there diet

THANKS
Michael

Hello,

I would not freeze zuchinni, being water based it will go soggy if you defrost.
I usually keep zuchinni in overnight for 12 hours with no problem at all. I do however not cut it lengthwise to expose the seeds , but chop it up like a carrot. My temps are at 29C. Maybe they devoured the stuff and the seeds got loose. The other option is to remove the seeds, which is the softer stuff. cheers jk :thumbup:

It is good for their diet but there are other veggies that are better. You don't really need to precook zuchinni at all or freeze. i never had problems with fresh and fry. If cooked will break down quicker. A lot of factors determine how quick veggies break down which is why we advise shorter periods of time especially to people new to using veg. Just make sure when you buy zuchinni that it is firm to touch and when you cut it there are little beads of juice appear on the cut bits. If they are starting to feel squiggy or soft then give em a miss.

Best way to remove cloudiness is with water changes

HI,
My peppermints will only eat the skin and leave the centre,but I never freeze zuchini or tomatoes even for my own consumption as it kills the fruit an makes it invalid ,you want to keep it alive in the crisper and not for long as the older the zuchini gets it breaks down quicker and clouds the tank and its better to feed a little at a time thana whole chunk as you got you give the bacteria time to break the waste down too. cheers

I use about a 1/4 of a medium cuc per two adult plecos, cut in half and then I half that diagonally, giving me 4 longish(2inches+) per piece and that stays usually for 2 to 3 days max, never had any left going into the third day and thank goodness I have never had to see a clouded tank..

Have to agree with all the above. I get a fresh zuccini from the supermarket, give it a quick wash, cut an inch on the ends and insert a fork or something stainless steel into, attatch a piece of cotton / thread and straight into the tank at lights out at night. In the morning, I just grab the thread / cotton and throw whatever is left straight into the bin.

Never had any problems with clouding etc in the past. As long as its fresh, it shouldn't decay in that much in 12/24 hours.

I used to feed zucchini but now I feed what they do in Europe. I buy a bag of frozen Brussels Sprouts. Thaw one in a cup of hot water and pull it apart. Alot less work and expense and more nutrition. The water stays better as well. Thats what Ingo feeds his plecos.
