my blue phantom pleco has been eating zuccini and flakes as well as alagea wafers but he also likes massivore but my silverdollars allways steal the wafers but was wondering if other than wafers and zuccini,cucumber if he needs meaty foods too, also ill be adding a leapard sailfin plec to the tank will this change anything?
 
They do not. If you feed a meaty diet it will not affect them badly they will get pretty fat which is mostly a good thing. My phantoms get spectrum pellets wafers and tetra crisp along with zucchini and cantaloupe and I have driftwood in the tank too.
 
They do eat meaty foods. Mines like sinking shrimp pellets and carnivore pellets more that algae wafers.
