How to care for L18 Golden Nugget.

Ok, got one of these beauties and a couple of white spots as well. What should I feed them? I have heard cucumbers, flake food and possibly blood worms. Suggestions?

That sounds good for a start- goto Planet Catfish and look up info there- best pleco site around.

Planet Catfish is the BOMB-A. You have made my day.

my plecos like krill

 

[ewurm]

Frozen or the dried stuff, I have both.

feed frozen krill occasianally. they really enjoy chewing on some driftwood and they will eat flake food also

 

[ewurm]

Have some driftwood. Will try the krill, thanks.

I have also been dropping shrimp pellets in at night. I tried cucumber, that was unmolested. Unmolested sounds grammatically inappropriate except when you are talking about kids that don't stay at Michael Jackson's Ranch.

I have a bunch a small plecos one being a gold nugget. It will eat anything from shrimp pellets, black worms, lettuce, cucumber, algae wafers, etc. Don't think you are going to have any trouble. Oh yeah and driftwood is a good idea.
