well, couldnt find any cucumbers or honeydew, but i found some frozen peas... :D

i thawed them, then took off the tough outer skin...both halves were gone withing 20 seconds, i just put 2 more halves in, but they are just being pecked at..i think i'll take them out...

the yoyo just sucked up the first one though :)

At the time the biggest one was about 4.5" and the smallest about 2".....going from memory. The little ones are near enough the same size as the big ones now though!

next time try seeded water melons. the seeds are tasty too and nutritious. the seed shells might be too hard but those are huge clowns. Do they have teeth?

Watermelon, eh? That just so happens to be MY favorite fruit- I have it in the house at all times, usually 4 packs :oops: I can get through a couple of them in a day. But I'd be more than happy to share with my loaches! :wink:
Gorgeous pictures as usual, Emma. I love them all lined up as if they're eating a cob, adorable ^_^ And Marge busting in and putting her flag in the feed is hilarious :lol: definitely the boss!
