pleco food

[lekkiandgas]

what do you feed your pleco?
I feed algae wafers and cucumber, tried carrot but they didn't seem too mad on it
what do they like anyone feed their pleco anything that I can try?

I have 5 plecos (1 Leopard Saifin, 1 Blue Panaque, 1 Green Phantom, 1 King Tiger, and 1 Golden Nugget). They are in a community tank with Angel Fish, Black Ghosts, Algae Eaters, Glo-Lite Tetras, and Red Velvet Platies. I feed them (every other day) all the same things.... TertraMin Tropical Flakes along with 1 cube of either Frozen Blood Worms or 1 cube of Frozen Brine Shrimp (alternate between the Blood Worms and the Brine Shrimp). Occasionally, on a non-feeding day, I will throw in a few Hikari Tropical Algae Wafers or some Sera Catfish Chips (with Willow and Alder Wood). I see these Plecos come out almost immediately to eat.

generally my plecos (2 x L91, 1 x L333) eat the same thing as my cichlids. I feed a combo of small to medium size pellets (hikari and xtreme) and bloodworms usually. every few days I will break a small handful of xtreme pleco pellets in half (because I find they float otherwise, and my uaru get them) and try to drop those around where my plecs hang out and they go crazy for those. those and bloodworms are their favorites

I only have 1 right now(L001). I feed shrimp pellets and flake. I doubt he's eating the flake though(I also have cories in the tank).
