Was wondering if the veggies "NEED" to be organic. I have some squash. Unsure whether it is organic or not. I know about blanching and stuff. Just need to know if it will hurt my fish if it is not organic.

There should be no need to make sure its organic. I feed my plecos zuccini, yellow squash, greens and more from the store all the time, non-organic as theres no way the fish are getting better produce then me. It was nice to be able to pull them out of our garden this past summer though and to know its good. Just like you said though, blanch them first.

One reason many people recommend organic is to be sure that there aren't any pesticides on the veggies.
