Thanks!!!

anyone feed thier pleco with NutrafinMAX sinking tablets?

my pleco does seem to like them...and it clouds the water
still states does not cloud water

mebbe use less? i've found also that feeding the main fish in the tank first and shutting off the lights and then dropping the pellets/wafers asap near the plecs fav spots tends to reduce other fish from going for them right away.

algae pellets when uneaten basically dissolves and turns water quality bad. its easier to use veg, and take it out after a few hours, before it destroys water quality. i think its better for the plecs too imo.

ohh thx...
how long u normally put the cucumber in?

i usually put it overnight and sometimes they clog up my filter...
so now i dont feed cucumber...

but if i put it for few hrs, they dont eat it right away...thats y i put it overnight and the next dae, cucumber is gone with the skin left intact

If you use cucumber take the seeds out, that will fix the filter problem. I would use other veggies too. The more variety the better.

i slice the cucumber, and just put in a few slices, the plecs eat from the middle outwards. im sometimes left with a few little discs with holes in the middle the next morning. never had a problem water quality wise
