Pleco food

mrmoby · 07-08-2005, 12:23 AM

I use algae wafers and whatever is growing in the tank to nourish my Pleco. Is there anything that I can / should be feeding him in order to supplement his diet? He looks healthy and is active, but just doesn't seem to grow very much.

Meaty pellets like spirulina and brine shrimp. veggie rounds, zuchini, green beans. my pleco loves them all.

are you talking about frozen brine shrimp?

My clown pleco ate frozen brine shrimp and bloodworms. I meant brine shrimp pellets and spirulina pellets.

you can also try cucumber, our plecos will also eat sinking pellets for loaches. they come just like the algae wafers.
