Hi, I just bought a new queen arabesque plec, and I was wondering what to feed it besides algae wafers, and lettuce. Do they need driftwood? What should their diet primarily consist of? How large will they get? This is an amazing species of plec, and I am thrilled with my new purchase. He's about 2 1/2 inches long. Right now he is in a 29g, and I was planning on housing him there for a while. I'll get pics up tomorrow. Any help is much appreciated.

They don't eat veggies. Go after a good meaty diet. Driftwood is not needed. They max at around 3.5-4"

I dont know about the chicken but the carnivore pellets worked for me and krill attached to a rock or spoon.
Any meaty food will work well. I would use the sinking stuff from hikari that has the corydoras julii on the front. I found that my hypans like the sinking disks to the sinking pellets.

Vegetables bring balance and much needed nutrition to all loricariidae diets. If your fish will accept them, be sure to feed veggies. Try some more protein-bound things first, such as fava beans. All my hypancistrines have been particularly fond of those as well as peas, and will usually take zuchinni and cucumber+fruits.
