Also cutting it into discs is helpful as it means the fish can literally sit on it and eat it ceetainly in the case of my garra.
alan you are spoiling that fish of yours.lol.

seriously though just goes to prove different fish, different tanks ,different results, Used to put raw potatoes in with the peel still on at first but then I used to have to look for the peel when all the insides had been eaten out (which meant moving my rocks and plants about thats why I peeled them in the end didn't do my plecos any harm oldest one lasted 26 years.lol.
