Loaches Online Forum

I put a slice of zucchini in my tank hoping my 3 yoyo loaches would enjoy a nice treat, my long finned rosy barbs decided it was the best thing they've ever eaten! Finally after about 15 minutes my loaches stuck their noses in for a taste. my question is, how long do I leave this in my tank? will my fish over eat and get sick or die?? All of fish enjoyed some of the zucchini!

I have 3 yoyo's
6 zebra danios
3 glo fish
1 golden gourami
6 longfinned rosy barbs
2 platys

in quarantine I have a opaline gourami and two dwarf cockatoo cichlids.
Can't wait for them to join the rest of the fish!

I'd normally remove it after a few hours, certainly no more than a day later.

I usually put a piece in late in the afternoon and take it out in the morning. If I leave it any longer, it seems to disappear. I think someone grabs it and puts in somewhere in a cave.

I might add that mine seem to prefer green squash to zucchini. It looks the same to me but there's a difference.
