hello I read on some fish website that its a red flag if pleco’s eat during the day? my pleco has fin rot which he got from the pet store that I'm trying to heal but he always eats whenever. hes not shy and eats his cucumber and algae wafers no matter what time of the day so is it really a red flag?

fish time scarface this website is where I read it under red flags it says “day feeding” which I found weird. thanks for clearing it out for me though. now that I think about it I think they meant feeding once a day I never heard of just ‘day feeding’ before

I just did a quick read-through. I’m not impressed. There’s contradictory info, as well as misinformation. I’m not one to judge another person’s grammar, but the article is also badly written. In cases like this, I see it as a warning flag. Just letting you know, so you don’t rely on that site for any future research.

Yeah, I also saw contradicting information. I was just wondering because of the fact that it was said if it was possible that its true. thank you for clearing up the misconception
