Zucchini

[ihaveadane]

What is your opinion on feeding zucchini to saltwater fish. (Fox face, sailfin) even snails? After looking at other posts that say zucchini is is good for copepods, I would think that it would be nutritionally OK for the plant loving creatures as long as it is not the only food source.

I have feed Zucchini to my Blue Tang before and she loves it, aw well and my snails! I didn't see any sideaffect just make sure it is clean. As you said I wouldn't recomment it being there only food source.

from what I've heard, its not as nutritious to them as the dried seaweed, but it can be a good source of food. Also freeze it befor you feed, if you do that it'll help breakdown the fibers of the veggie so its easier to digest for the fish.
