Cory's eat cucmbers?

[UP UP AND GUPPY]

Okay I heard from someone at petsmrt that cory cats eat vegies. is this true?

We cut zucchini (sp?) lengthwise like a pickle, and attach a weight to it, and drop it in the tank for three hours, then remove whatevers left.

Yeah, mine like veggies!
I cut up slices for my plecs, boil them for about 3 minutes so they sink, and drop them in. The cories enjoy them almost as much as the Plecos!

Okay thanks. Are the very nutritional for the Cory's? Are they more active after they eat or before they eat? And how long can it stay in the tank? Is that an alternative to wafers and shrimp pellets?

You shouldn't leave it in the tank more than 24 hours, and probably not more than 12 hours... by then they should have eaten all they're going to. Don't feed exclusively vegetables, they need a balanced diet with some meaty stuff in it too (ie, shrimp pellets, wafers, etc.).
