What should I feed a common ancistrus or bristelnose pleco. There is a arowana and 2 talking catfish with him.:grinno:
 
Algae wafers, zuchini attached to a rock, algae covered stones for a start.

They are primarly algae and plant detritovores. They will suck up any pellets or flaked food of the bottom. They also like to have a piece of wood to keep clean. They will graze on the thin film of bacteria that will grow on submerged wood, and get a little wood fibre as well.
 
i use cucumbers on a veggie clip and mine eats the whole center right out in one night. but i hear zuchini is even better. so i agree as well.
 
agree with potts
