I have a pleco that is about 7"-8". It seems he is always hungry and I am feeding him several algae chips a day. Is there anything else to substitute this, being since there isn't enough algae in the tank to satisfy his craving? I have seen cucumber slices in LFS tanks. Is that ok and is there anything else that may help? I have him in a cichlid tank, so I dont know if certain veggies will hurt them as well. Thanks.

Re: Pleco food
That is more likely Zuchini that you have seen. I've fed my plecos zuchini in addition to the algae wafers. At least I try, but my Africans also like zuchini so I try to put in later in the evening. I cut off the hard outer part and stick a lead weight through it to keep it down. I've seen where microwaving it for a short time will also make it sink as well as make it softer for the fish.Reasoning with some people is like trying to nail jello to a wall... -
Re: Pleco food
Yeah... I feed mine zuchinni as well. I also put in romaine lettuce and spinach from time to time. My plecos and africans seem to enjoy them.Scarecrow : I haven't got a brain... only straw.

Scarecrow: I don't know... But some people without brains do an awful lot of talking... don't they?
Dorothy: Yes, I guess you're right.Comment
