Wow at last it works :-)

OK here's the update on the bulldog pleco fry. I have 2 left and they are both a good 2 cm in length. They both live in the rock pile and will only eat algae so I am having to change out rocks from my algae tank every 2 days. Hopefully I can get them to eat something else soon.

Put a small piece of spinach in a wet paper towel and nuke it in the micro wave for 15 seconds to soften it. Most of my plecs go nuts for this, zuchini, romaine, spirulina flake etc. Put a little rock on it to hold it at the bottom.

Why would you give your fish which has been in a Microwave?
Humans shouldnt consume food which had been in a small radiated box nevermind fish.
Surely blanching it in hot water would be alot better and ORGANIC.

Because prejudice against microwaving is fairly rare. And there's plenty of highly successful breeders that use that method.

My BNs LOVE LOVE LOVE broccoli - they sleep/rest on the veggie clips! I use 2 clips (they each have their own stalk). They also really enjoy shelled peas. The forum also recommended watermelon - will try it when it's in season.
