I have a foot long common pleco and used to eat alge wafers when i drop them in the tank. I moved my pleco in another tank 3 weeks ago then decided to move him back to his old tank 2 days later. Its been a week and I havent seen it go after the wafers. need help
 
have you tried other foods? they are omnivorous with a preference to veggies though. you could try cucumber, lettuce, peas, frozen spinach, potatoes and any prepared food that reaches the bottom. Larger fish enjoy prawns or pieces of freshwater trout so you could try that also.
