they can eat that very well, it only has barely any nutritional value.
You can try lots of veggies and fruit.
In the amazon it's part of their natural diet, for a lot of those food will fall into the water.
You can try grapes, pieces of pineapple, banana,cantaloupe, wtaer- and sugermelon, just see what they like .
Just don't try Kiwifruit, it will make more then a mess of your tank.
Zuchinni is still all of my big plecos favorites:
and it has loads more nutritional value as well, compared to cucumber, which is mostly water.
And mine is doing fine on a quarter of a zuchnni a dat, that is together with a 8" Pseudacanthicus cactus pleco

arent cactus pleco usually more carnivorous?
i'd watch with fruit. the acids could ruin water chemistry.

Fish will eat ANYTHING especially voracious eaters like oscars. I doubt that they need veggie matter, but if they seem to like it thats fine. All things in moderation. Dont go too crazy with the veggies because we are talking about a "carnivorous" fish here.
I put that in quotes because like I said, fish will eat anything.
Beautiful plec noddy

true, but the one in the pics is my Hypostomus.
This is my cactus pleco:
And he just comes over for a couple of big bites, and is off again.

oscars are not carnivorius,the are omnivors(meanning they need a varied diet)in the wild they eat alot of fruits ,nuts ,veggies etc)mine eat grapes,peas,romaine lettuce and a daily diet of pellets,a varied diet also(in my experience)brings out better color and prevents hith disease, btw my oscars dont eat everything including feeders they wont touch them.
