Try turning the lights off first, and scatter the food so it has a chance to reach the bottom

Feed the plecostmus at night that is what I had to do when my greedy Oscars would get all the food before the Plecostmus ever got a chance to taste it.

yeap, they get full, if an oscar and arow can then why cant a jd.
i woke up this morning to find my pleco with blotches of light brown/offwhite color all over it, what does that mean?

i used to have one myself, its alrite. its was just stressed up thats all.. will still survive, yap, feed ur pleco at nite.. but actually they will just scavane around the tank. or try feeding pellets, most oscars dont eat them, and when they sink, ur pleco will take it..
ok, i will try it but i know my JD will get it

get a long piece of ridgid tubing and point it down at the pleco that way the JD can't get it that is how I feed my fire eel and axolotol...
