Tried Watermelon this Past Weekend...

Post by cybermeez » Mon Feb 05, 2007 10:04 pm

...and the loaches loved it! Particularly the clowns, including the Clown Plecos who rasped the slice right down to the rind.

To think, until last Saturday I had no idea watermelon floats.

I'll have to try that one of these days.

Yep. It floats. We always through ours in the pool to chill it before we eat it. Floats just barely above the surface.

I think mine prefer watermelon to cucumber. The Puntius filamentosus go mad for it too.

Hi,

You will probably find that your other fish will be fine and like the new treat also. That is, if the loaches will let them get a bite in. When I put treats in like peas or cucumber, all the fish are in a mad frenzy around it.
Welcome to LOL, by the way! :)
