hey i've got 2 weather/dojo loaches in a 30 gal with a school of 4 tiger barbs. if i wanna feed them some vegetables (cucumbers?) what should i feed them and how do i prepare the vegetables?

AFAIK weather loaches are primarily carnivorous. It'd be a waste of time and probably will just dirty the tank if you try to feed them too much or even any vegetable matter.

Most vegetables do not need to be specially prepared. When I feed cucumber or zuchinni to my plecs, I slice it and attach it to a rock with a rubber band to make it sink. Generally fish do not eat the skins of vegetables, so you may peel the vegetable so you don't have to take the peel out later.
