I have 5 small bristlenose plecos in a 29G grow out tank with an L52. These guys are so picky. I read that they arent picky. Ive tried zucchini, cucumber, Tetra and Hikari algae wafers, and Hikari sinking cichlid pellets. I still have spinach, broccoli, and sweet potato I am going to try. But these little buggers rather suck on the driftwood and the walls than eat the food I give them. I am trying to give them the best diet I can, but this is a little ridiculous. Any ideas?
 
How long have you had them? If you recently accuired them, they need little bit of time to settle in.
Mine eats fine from the day-1... all fishes are different... give just little time.
 
Mine eat zuccinni fine and NLS with garlic. I have 2 in my 50 and had them for years without any issues. They are very hardy in my opinnion.
