I have some mopani in there.

I really havent found a food that the plecos really go for besides zucchini, cucumber and green beans so looking for ideas of things to put in a DIY concoction. I will use a food processor to blend it all and mix it with gelatin then see if they like it.

Shrimp and fresh organic kale would make a good mixture.

Be sure to post pics of your Plecos.

A wood softer than mopani is prefered by the fresh. The starlight would definitely like some raw zucchini; if you're 'tiger;f L397 veggies all the way as well as soft wood. I have a bunch in a 120 with some krobia.

Malaysian driftwood and manzanita wood are two commonly available options.
