My pleco loves to eat, but I don't put much in the tank which is a 75 gallon because don't want to overpopulate the MTS i already have in there, and also make the nitrates go up again ! Anyway is there something i can feed the pleco that won't sink , so he can still come to the top ! Love to watch him eat!

Clip jis serving of fresh veggies near the top or where you can see him

is he a common pleco? what do you feed him? i'm just curious.

fishchick

I have a common, just feed him some flakes right now !

Butterfly

He definitely needs more than flakes. Veggie wafers and fresh vegetables are a few of the thing he will enjoy

Have you tried veggie clips on the side with slices of zucchini or cucumber? That's what we feed our plecos.

I feed my pleco blanched cucumber & zucchini.

fishchick

If you have a pleco, one thing you want to make sure they have is driftwood. they chew on it, and it helps their digestion and supplements their diet.

i just tried zucchini last night and my BN spent the whole night guarding it. it was so funny. i found it just 5 minutes ago, it was completely devoured! my rainbow shark, clown loach and my goldfish loves it too. i just bought a albino BN today, i'll see how he goes with the zucchini.

thanks
