Plecos are being picky eaters!

[zebvance]

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.

Nothing better for them than your everyday algea wafer. They usually contain a reasonable amount of protein also. Shrimp is a better choice then turkey.
I myself would never feed them turkey.

courgette is all mine will eat. Won't eat cucumber. Stab it with a dinner spoon or knife so it sinks and it will chow down.

Get them on Algea waffers? That has everything they need. Give Veggies as treats. Sinking shrimp pellets are good too.
