albertareef Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 if it's a stressful death..........99.9% yes. Natural death not so much. When a cucumber feels threatened' date=' it will expell its internal organs which are extremely toxic. This is to kill off his attacker, or deter it anyway. Well a powerhead can't be detered.[/quote'] Excellent clarification COReefer... also pretty darn funny (laugh) well, except for the consequences of said cuke vs. powerhead confrontation!

COReefer Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 lol. You have a good point there. Do fish normally pick on Cucumbers? depends on the fish I guess. I currently have a sea apple which falls into this family and none of my fish have ever messed with it. With all of this being said, I have moved all of my powerheads to where it would be really hard for the apple to get there but to answer your question, I would never put a cuke with a trigger or any other fish of that aggressive stature.

COReefer Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 Excellent clarification COReefer... also pretty darn funny (laugh) well' date=' except for the consequences of said cuke vs. powerhead confrontation![/quote'] I tend to say some funny things when it's really not meant but if I try to be funny, it's worse than a train wreck. I'm just glad I didn't have any really expensive fish at that point. (only my flame angel) but now I have a leutenant tang and a purple tang and my bellus angel. Those are pretty expensive specimens so if my apple decides to go I'm out some dollars. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
