do you feed your guys (or will they accept) any vegtables? I know they are primarily meat eaters but mine wont touch any veg. any feedback is appreciated, thanx.
 
Mine ignore veggies, unless you count the veggies in Hikari wafers (corn, spirulina). Mine also ate the fibers from coconut husk caves. Otherwise, they love meat (blackworms, bloodworms, earthworm pellets).
 
I ve had a few for quite awhile Currently have an 11 inch male. Mine would never touch any kind of veggies. I always feed NLS and it has veggie material in it but as for fresh veggies forget it. They would not touch any. Incidently my 11 inch plec is in perfect health on good ol NLS 3 mm sinking pellets. Which is all he eats at present. I feed my 3 black banned silver dollars omega one kelp flakes and he will not touch them either.
 
Although i've never seen mine personally eat it.. I see nipping.. and the thing with plecos is that..

when one pleco eats.. the other will follow.. Plecos learn from each other.. plus their diet requires a bit of veggie as well..
