| we call courgettes Zucchinis just for any aussies out there who are confused  and def cucumber as it doesnt foul filters anywhere near as badly and its closer to algae in nutritional value (i.e. it has very low nutritional value  ) _________________ Doug's Bristlenose eBook - The number one source of Bristlenose information and the most detailed breeding guide avaliable

| Cuc all the way here...it may not have as much nutrient value as the Zucchini, but if supplemented with other quality foods, the fish will thrive... |
