pleco diet

[Bret11]

I currently have a 125 gallon tank with some severum's and geo's and 1 smaller pleco, about 6 inches. Im looking to get a new big one, around 12 inches. I only have 1 very small piece of driftwood in my tank and I dont want to add more. I also have very little algae in my tank. What should I feed the Pleco's?

My place, assuming common pelco, eats anything my other fishes eat. Mostly pellets and market prawns

Depending on your Pleco, it will eat different things. The panaque types chew on wood and the skin of veggies.
I’ve got a sunshine that eats cichlid gold and shrimp.

Mix the veggies up and see what it likes. I get good reactions from broccoli all the time. Mine like pumpkin, zucchini, cucumber, algae wafers, watermelon, cantaloupe, cholla wood and Malaysian driftwood.
