L14 - Golden peacock.

[batang_mcdo]

I have this L14 golden peacock pleco for 1-2 years now, i noticed his growth is quite slow.
I got him at about 2-3 inches? now he is only at 4-5 inches.

whats the best diet for him? dont think he is vegetarian?
i started dropping piece of shrimp occassionally.
but not sure , what is the best diet? i do feed my fish pellets .

any suggestions?

It will thrive with a mixed diet of: algae wafers, Hikari massivaore delight, melons (like watermelon pumpkin, etc.), zucchini, and fish (whole fish are best but fish fillets are ok) like tilapia.
Also, the planet catfish cat-e-log has lots of information.

My L14s like Kensfish wafers, nls, and bloodworms. They grow pretty slow so just be patient.
