I suggest feeding more veggies for two reasons, firstly it's good for their GI tract to keep the plant matter running through it. and secondly the time taken to rasp at the veggies will lessen the agro as they will be too busy eating. Be sure to feed enough pieces for all the plecs and feed in different areas so each one can eat in peace. Just my .02$ but I have had very overstocked tanks from time to time and feeding seems to be the key to happiness.

i agree as well. i have a 13" L001 who gets very aggressive with the other plecos as well, particularly when I haven't put any zucchini in the bottom for a while. make a conscious effort to get some protein pellets down to the plecos as well because they need a meaty type diet once they get bigger, i like the NLS mega sized pellets and so do they. the problem is getting them to the bottom without the 14" oscar seeing them, lol.
