  1. Default Question about vegi clips

    I just bought one of these because it seemed like a good idea to clip a slice of zuchinni on it and suction it to the wall. It actually worked fine and I saw the fish eating on it, but then I saw him sucking near the jaw part and all around it. And then I started thinking, can they get stuck in those? I notice the clip seems to clip pretty tight, and is it possible the fish can eat enough around the part of the vegetable that the clip holds, that it could make the clip clamp down tighter and they get stuck in it? Does that make sense? Or am I just being paranoid? :)

    Maybe a tad paranoid...

    I suppose it's possible there could be an accident...but it's unlikely. I've used them a lot in the past when looking after tanks at work...but never had an incident...

    Everything I put in my clip slid to the bottom of the tank. I found using a fork easier.

    I've never heard of 'Death by veggie clip', but that is not saying it can not happen. About as much a chance as winning the lottery I would guess.

    Both. The suction cup is not the greatest and the weight of the veggie just pulled the whole thing loose.
