I have never blanched, cucumbers, or any vegetable before, and your directions were very simple into the point. Thank you.

[@EcoScapeAquatics]

Great tutorial! Our shrimps love blanched veggies!

[@SimpleAquariumsLauren]

Thank you 😊😊

So you boil it for 4 minutes or start the timer when you put it in the water 🤷🏼‍♂️✌️🇨🇦

Also how long do you keep the cucumber in the aquarium? Ty 😊

I've been researching from KZbin to Google. It say between 8 to 24 hours

Of course blanching!!!! I was wondering how to stop them from floating 🤔 😁 Thanks liked and subscribed 👍

Just add lead weights available from your favorite fish shop.

How long does the blanched cucumber last in the fridge?

Hey there I've just fed it to my fish in all my tanks but I was wondering how often you think they should eat it. Is it healthy to feed it often?

[@SimpleAquariumsLauren]

I would probably feed it twice a week. 😊 you could probably feed more than that but I like to do it as a but of a treat.

[@theanimaladdiction]

@@SimpleAquariumsLauren thank you. Ive just been doing it every other day but ill start feeding it less

[@carinabakewell2311]

Didn't see any fish or snails....😢

I have several large plecos 12+ inches in length. I hotdog cut a zucchini and band it to a rock. The problem with blanching is you destroy the nutrients and it decays instantly. Blanching tends to cloud the water while weighting doesn't.

Thanks, my cucumber float after I put it in hot water for 30 seconds. 5 minute of boiling, got it.

[@BigGirlBlue]

Do you have to declorinate the cold water?

[@druvak]

I had to watch this video 3 times before I understood how to do this - I kept getting mesmerized by how those lips moved 😵‍💫
