Im very curious what fellow aquarists feed to their bottom dwellers. Ive only tried peas, cucumber, brocolli and zuchinii. Didnt have good experience with the brocolli. I got recommended pumpkin. What do you think?

You can see Keith's profile, as he's got the best fish food menu in FP. He feeds them a vast variety of vegetables & fruits.

Same veggies as you, but have also given them Santa Claus melon that I have softened slightly in the microwave and then cooled. Cucs and zuchinni seem to be their favorites though.

There isn't really any limit as to what can be dropped in for my bottom dwellers

Cucumbers
carrots
brocolli
cauliflower
squash
peas
anything i get my hands on is fair game....meaning if i eat it chances are they will try it, even lettuce heidi

The only veggies I've tried so far with my BN (which I've had for less than a month) are spinach and garden fresh green beans. She didn't seem to care for either of them. Will try others.
