MicksGotFish Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 If I boiled say a weeks worth of zucchini *spelling* and put it in a plastic container and in the freezer would this be ok?? Saves boiling it everynight or so.. Thanks Also one question thats always been on my mind but had no reason to ask it is how often do peppermint BN breed? Just out of curiousity Thanks alot, Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 I'm sure it was on this forum,,,some one came up with the idea of freezing blanched zuchini, seperating each serve with pieces of plastic (icecream tub) so each days ration could be seperated easily. As for how often they spawn ? I have seen some strange claims, but in my experience expect a female to spawn 8 or 9 times a year under good conditions. Every 40 to 45 days.

abob Posted January 5, 2005 Share Posted January 5, 2005 Another option is to zap some in the microwave each night. 30sec for a couple of pieces then straight in the tank. My pleco and BNs love it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dyce Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 do you NEED to boil zucchini? I mean whats the difference between doing it and just leaving it normal Just asking as I read somewhere it was easier not too, so I've jsut been making a kebab(on a metal skewer) of just normal zucchini and have been using that.

MicksGotFish Posted January 6, 2005 Author Share Posted January 6, 2005 I use to add none boiled (or microwaved) lettuce and the like I guess it reduces the ammount of waste or somthing.. I have no idea but I do know that it doesn't have to sit so long in the tank for it to become soft. Mick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan Posted January 6, 2005 Share Posted January 6, 2005 Boild or blanched or microed veg sink. No need to weigh them down. Which is handy when you have heaps of tnks to feed Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Aquaman Posted January 10, 2005 Share Posted January 10, 2005 some one came up with the idea of freezing blanched zuchini, seperating each serve with pieces of plastic (icecream tub) so each days ration could be seperated easily Yeah, that's my method - just cook a whole heap then freeze then pull it out when you need it...works very well.
