How can i be sure my 2 plecs are getting their fair share at meal times? At feeding times most of the food is gone by the time my plecs come out from hiding and join the table as it were. Yes, they suck particles from the glass, they also like chomping on my bog wood but that is basically all they're getting as far as i can see. Even the algae wafers i put in at lights out at night time get more attention from other fish. PS. If i tell you i have 4 tinfoil barbs in my tank too that will go some way to explaining where all the foods going! Are there any tricks about to ensure slower less confident fish are getting their fill?
 
If your plecos are not getting skinny, and you haven't had any die, don't worry they are getting food. Just toss in an extra algae wafer or 2 if sttill concerned.:)

Also add some vegetables stuck on forks such as zucchini and fruit, other fish tend to ignore this, your pleco's will thank you
