Pink Cucumber from ipsf

[jjz_13]

OK - got a pink cucumber with a package deal from ipsf.com. Thought it would be great for my sandbed - and kind of still do, but after more research, I'm afraid.

I put it in my QT tank for now and am deciding if I want to add this guy to my display.

Does anyone have any experience with pink cucumbers? I can hardly find any information on the web. It sounds like they will clean my DSB very nicely, but seems too many people have experienced the cuke nuke.

To the seasoned vets out there, what's your take?

I'd ask in the advanced forum

I have one that is 1/2 pink and 1/2 black. Doesn't move around much like other cucumbers I've had, but seems healthy and no problems so far.

ya - that's probably a pink cuke. How long have you had him? Does he clean the sand well?

I've had him for about 8 months...quite honeslty...he stays on my glass mostly. My tiger tail that used to be in there (now in another tank) did a great job, but this guy is pretty lame (but cool looking). Could just be that I picked a lazy one!
