Question
do i have to boil the zucchini to give to the bristlenose/corydorays or don't i have to boil and can just put it straight in

Answer
Hi Dylan,
You can boil it or you can also just feed it raw just fine. Sometimes people freeze the zucchini and then thaw it out so when its thawed it is very soft and easy eaten by the plecos. Either way is good, plecos don't have much trouble whether it's cooked or raw. But of course its tastier when its softer for them.

I hope this helps!
Best wishes,
Karen~
