Poll: Plecs favoured veggies

[davo]

Ok so a lot of my plecos arent the biggest fans of cucumber and zucchini, i wondered who had the best sucess with what with their plecs. I realise not all are veggies but you get the gist.

I know that the poll is uploaded after you posted, but how its more on the fresh stuff. Any ideas on your plecs favourites?

Blanched zuchini seems to float but blanched yellow squash sinks. Do you throw in frozen peas and they eat these.

Don't bother blanching the veggies, all your doing is degrading it so its not as nutritious. Attach it to a weight, or a clip, or stick a spoon handle of something through it to make it sink.

Personally, the veggie i've had most success with are peas (which is good because they have a great content, as do beans). Shelled or not. I have usually a decent reaction to potatoes/sweet potatoes though with most vegetarian based plecs.

my Plecs love lettuce, second to them would be zuchini...for some reason they dont really like algae wafers anymore ...oh well...as long as there eating something.
