I imagine it'd be ok, come to think of it..

Not like it's flake food that's going to push the ammonia up, or fall apart and make a mess..
Doug,
I switch out the veggies every 24 to 36 hours, but I keep so many loricariads there usually isn't much left after a day. The six A. claro I have can reduce half a cucumber nearly to the rind in 24 hours. Takes about 15 minutes for my Panaque nigrolineatus to down a whole apple.
