if i fed my plecos only cucumber and sometimes zuccini but mainly cucumber would they be healthy
i also have a piece of driftwood in the tank for them
 
They would also be eating algae, but if worried just add some algae wafers for them.
 
No, cucumbers are mostly water. Zucchini is a far superior source of electrolytes, vitamins and minerals. Huck that Cuke and ride the Zucc! Hope that helps.
Plecos do usually eat algae when they are hungry. But they also need to eat an omnivorous range of foods, light on the meaty stuff.

I can't believe so few of us have answered that for you after four days.
 
That's nice to know about the cucumbers, I'll have to switch on over.
