When feeding fish/snails cucumber...?

Question

do you have to scold it in hot water as you have to with lettuce?

thanks :)

Answer 1

nah you don't need to  - just put it in raw

Answer 2

Just blanch for a second or two to soften the cucumber so it is easier for the fish to eat.  Take out the seeds, they don't usually eat these and they will mess up your tank.  Cut into slices or lengthwise with the skin on.  Your fish should eat the flesh and leave the skin, then just take out the skin.

Hope that helps :)
