Is there a list of safe veggies & fruits?

I was wondering if there is a list somewhere on safe veggies fruits to give your pleco.
The one we have likes zuchini much more than cucumber. I found out it really likes Kiwi,.... but then a friend nearly jumped outta his skin when I meentioned it. He told me you should NEVER put Kiwi in the tank because it turns toxic & pollutes the tank very quickly.

:confused:

I've seen orange slices & even pineapple rings suspended in tanks, so I can't see why Kiwi in particular would be so bad....
I could see where maybe using fruit could theoretically fudge with the pH testing, but to toxify the tank???

Can anybody out there clarify this?
Thanx.

Never heard that, but my wife is allergic to kiwi, so I've never tried it.
