Nice pick up, Jeff is great vendor with nice stock.

I’m growing out a small albino one now.

What do you feed him exactly?

Cool whiskers! Got two oddballs from TUIC a few months back they're doing awesome.

I'm thinking Massivore and HBH algae wafers, Zucchini, kale, carrots, bits of raw cod, etc. Sound alright? General pleco diet?

Nice pickup. I have been eyeing that thing for a couple months just never pulled the trigger.

It only 3” but I been feeding it black worms since he was 1.5” I dnt think black worms going to do any good to your large Adonis appetite. I will switch over to hikari carnivore and algae wafers later on when it bigger.

I've done asparagus, earthworms, massivore and HBH wafers so far..

Dnt worry I’m sure this L155 has been with Jeff for awhile now all the plecos I got from him ate within 2-3 days it probably eats at night when lights are off.
