Hi! I have six jack dempseys and 1 pleco right in a 10 gallon tank ( which will be moved up to at least a 55 by next week ). I feed them mostly flakes, and as a treat frozen blood worms. For my pleco, it is about 2 inches long and i drop in those round discs. I can never tell if he is eating them or not. But i dont think he does because the jds just bite at the discs and spit them out.
Now, i know that you are supposed to feed also fish veggies esp. to pleco and jds.
I was told romaine lettuce so i tried some. I was also told that I was to dip it into hot water? Im not sure about this. But anyways i drop a few pieces in and the float on the top!
So i drop some into the pathway of the filter which pushes the pieces of lettuce down. However, the fish come close to it, and then ignore it! What am i suposed to do to feed them their veggies?
Also, are there any alternative veggies? Ive alrdy tried carrots and they dont seem to work at all.
