well you could try melon, broccoli, zucchinni, potatoes, grapes, shelled peas, lettuce, frozen spinich, literally you could try any greens for this plec, you just gotta experiment. when they are older, or even now, you might want to drop a piece of prawn in and see if he grazes on that. just remember not to leave those things in too long, as some foul the water worse than others, so remove. i leave mine in for about half an hour, so maybe overnight, but its usually all gone anyway

Grapes huh? Never tried that... would be interesting... Do you put them in whole or skinned?

 

[davo]

just cut them in half. i found a lot of plecs like the skins of stuff

 

[WyldFya]

Yeah, for fruits I do that, but for most veggies I don't.

I am a new plecos keeper. my cichlid will end up eating the algae wafers even way b4 my L191 & whiptail can even notice its there.... I wasting my algae wafers on the wrong fish. I tried using cucumber last nite and noticed my cichlid has no interest. Hopefully both my plecos will feed on the cucumber....
