So I have realized I need to put my common plecos on a better diet. So Far I have tried to feed them baby carrots and cucumbers, but there not having it. I know they need some meat in their diet from time to time so I threw a couple pieces of turkey lunch meat.... and they LOVED it. But I know that needs to be a on special occasion treat. So they question is what else could I throw in there that they might take a liking to? also how much do I put in there and do I cut it up in to like pieces or what? Here is a pic of my two guys.

Try zuchinni (and try blanching the zuchinni; my plecs prefer blanched over raw zuchinni). Also you may want to post this question not on this section ("media lounge") as this is more to show off pics of your plecs, not to request advice.
 
what do you mean by blanched. and sry how do you move it?
 
Blanch: boil the zuchinni for about 5 minutes, then let it cool down, hopefully it should sink on its own to the bottom.

Not sure how to move a thread. A moderator could do that. Just ask the same question you had, but on the main pleco page.
