id take a guess and say you would have to cut it down the middle and feed it like you would cuc or zucc??

Bristlenoses are going absolutely bananas today for watermelon. We are a good team; I eat most of the red bits and they eat the rest.

ive never tried them with watermelon think i will give it a try

what part of the water melon do you feed and how ?? like zucc???

Generally you would feed the "peel" off the watermelon, The Green part. The soft red fruit part that we eat messes up the tank at an alarming rate.

I came across a veggie mix I hadn't seen before when I was looking at veggies at Walmart. It's a hybrid or mix of Squash and zucchini, Looks like a zucchini but has the consistency of a solid squash. No fibers or anything like that just solid "flesh" as it were. I have found that it keeps longer in the fridge and takes longer to get mushy in the tank. I don't know if any of you have every come across it before or if it's old or a new thing, but this is the first time I have seen it. My b/n seem to absolutely love it. and I have kept it in my tank for two days(same piece) without any significant molding or rot. Just thought I would share this info with you all and see if you have any luck with it.

cheers jacob i will keep my eye out for some..

I read about giving them peas and beans....has anyone ever tried dried beans with any of their plecs? Would that even be a good idea?

With the sweet potatoe, do you peal it first?

i pealed mine, but just what i fed them. kept the rest in the fridge. i have 11 BN in a 29g tank-i chopped a small piece of tater for them...they nibble alot on it-but dont eat the whole thing. ended up discarding it a few days later.
mine love green beans-right out of the can-left overs u know....who would think a fish would eat left overs-lols!
enjoy! Rich

sweet potato is the best imo it doesn't foul up the water like other vegies
