We are now carrying this very inventive thing call the "Screwcumber" from England. This is a fantastic item used to scewer vegetables for your snails, ancistrus, or any other type of algae eater to feast on. It is made from Marine grade Stainless Steel and is completely safe to use in your aquarium. It provides a simple solution to weighing down a variety of vegetables and fruits in your aquarium such as Cucumber, Zucchini, Lettuce, Apple, or virtually anything you wish to try!! Will hold down a 25 - 75mm (1" - 3") section of Cucumber, Courgette, Zucchini or similar vegetable. This item is also popular with keepers of snails, to provide a source of calcium rich vegetables......or alternatively when unwanted snails enter your aquarium with new plant stock it can be used effectively with Cucumber as a chemical free snail trap to attract those unwanted snails providing easy removal from your tank. if you see a spring thing holding down egetables in the store aquariums, this is what it is.
