green peppers as pleco food

[jworth]

Have lots in my garden. Is it safe?

I would think as long as you thoroughly wash them and get rid of the seeds. I'm not sure how popular they will be with the plecos, but worth a shot. here is a basic list of veggies for plecos http://ezinearticles.com/?Vegetable-List-For-Feeding-Plecos&id=2287054

I don't think I would feed my plecos/fish anything spicy.

Don't have a specific reason for that...but just doesnt sound like a good idea to me.

ive fed red peppers to my plec and he loves them ! id imagine green peppers would be fine

i dont belive he is refering to the "spicy" kind of pepper i know the red peppers i fed to my plec were not spicy

in the first picture the one on the top is the "red pepper" i fed to my plec and the bottom one is the green pepper so there both the same species of plant so id say go for it see if your plec likes em as much as mine does

i agree with this as well, however green peppers usually refer to bell peppers which are not spicy.

I am referring to green bell peppers (not spicy)
