yea carrots would be great!, escpecially with pleco that have orange/red coloration :naughty:
i would boil them for 30 sec-1min though to soften them up
unless you have the big boys like Panaque , then raw is good :)

Rabbit Pellets! That's one I wouldn't have thought of, but what a great idea! Thanks for the tip, DeLgAdO!

Try this put a smooth stone in a bucket of water barely submerging it, sit it in the sun and let algae grow on it. Trust me it works.

Can't believe I've never done that before. Kewl idea because my pleco tank has very little algae growth on its own.
