Check out the dietry sticky. I've fed mine squashes, potatoes, peas, bloodworms, pieces of shrimp and other worms and had success.

Frozen, pleco food, and sink don't work. Use fresh veggies.

Caves in the form of cones or small flower pots should get them in the mood.

Lots of people make batches of homemade pleco food and then freeze it. I used to do it when I had more time (that and I got fed up of turning off air pumps etc everytime I used it). Heres one that member COL had written up and posted here before (link below), and I've done similar (you can put in whatever) then put it in a plastic zip lock bag spread thinly and you can just take off chunks. Works well.
