Meaty Foods for Your Plec

[L-Cait]

Hey guys!

I'm new to the forums and I decided to start off with a quick question about what you guys feed your plecs. Primarily I'm asking what you guys feed to your plecs that enjoy dabbling in the carnivore side of their diet. In addition to the various other plecos I have, I've got a 14" male Sunshine, L014, and while I feed him a pellet food, I also supplement him with meaty foods such as mussles, prawn, bloodworms, etc. I'm wondering if there are other similar foods I may not have considered that you guys find your plecs to enjoy as well? Is there anything your plecs enjoy in particular?

Thanks for your time guys and I look forward to hearing back!

Thats pretty much what I have been feeding my new L014. They will eat just about anything it seems. Mine was eating a kelp wafer last night. haha

I tried algae wafers but none of my plecos would eat them however my bichirs would

Every single one of my fish from koi to SA cichlids to plecos love the northfin kelp wafers. I even had a betta eat some when I put one in for my snails.

You know, I always forget about kelp wafers, but now I've got some on order so I'll see how my guys like them. Currently I'm supplementing with NLS AlgaeMAX and everyone loves it, but the Northfin kelp wafers have more of a diet that I'm looking for.
