| I've not tried it but I would imagine ripe banana would soon deteriorate in water.

| It would be a better option but it would still be trial and error on how soon it started breaking down. |

| Interesting idea, as they are a abundant in potassium. great for healthy breeding...A green one sounds like a good test..maybe just a really small bit at first... I won't be feeding them tho, $$ like gold over here atm, thanks to the floods... Then again I know someone who spent $3.50 per Cuc the other day...  |

| Mmm.
It's a very interesting thought regarding feeding banana. Probably the strangest thing I have fed my bristlenose is almonds. They jumped on them as soon as it hit the gravel.
Keep us updated. |
