Shared a bit of absolutely wonderful seedless watermelon with one of my tanks. I'd never fed it to my fish before; the entire piece was gone in less than half an hour! (and next time I will clean the glass before doing something like this and taking pics )

For some reason the keyholes have adopted my new BN and are quite protective of it; here one of them is checking out the new food before letting the plec try:



They tend to get mad when the loaches try to share foods with the plec, the plec was happy though:



Other fish starting to sneak in:



Keyholes finally gave up on trying to protect the melon:

Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.

Is that a piece of metal holding the melon down..

it's lead, just like the metal at the bottom of bunched plants, it acts as a weight.......*looks at self in the mirror and says:"well it's metal it's not exactly gonna float you dingbat"*

EDIT: btw, how big are your keyholes and how old are they?

I can't remember who but someone on the site tried watermelon

I guess like other foods they just bite it. Because of the water content of melon it's actually softer than other fresh foods I feed my fish.

how big are your keyholes and how old are they?

I've had the keyholes for approximately a year now. They were very tiny when I bought them; now they're each about three inches long.

That is a lead plant weight holding down the melon. I don't use them for plants but I too assume that for a short period of time in the tank they shouldn't cause problems.

Theresa,

I'd be very surprised if the plant weight caused you any problems. After all, they are meant for aquariums, aren't they?

I think we have another case of the "My fish eat better than I do" syndrome.
