I am looking for foods to feed my Pl*cos and loaches (veggies). Right now I am feeding zucchini and would like to change it up a bit. Right know I have the following:

Clown loaches
Botia loache
Kulie loaches
Common sailfin Pl*co
Bristlenose Pl*co
Oto’s

I noticed that in my 90 gallon that the rainbow sharks and the groumies eat it also. So what do you guys and gals feed your loaches and pl*cos

For veggies, I feed romaine lettuce, cucumber, and zucchini.
 
Commercial foods, veggies, earthworms, shrimps, slices of hotdogs (occasionally) and bloodworms for loaches. Plecos get veggies, occasional bloodworms and commercial foods.
 
Theres a section for each of those fish roups you'll find alot of good info there :thumbsup:
 
in time the plecos will take to sinking pellets . mine love novo plec mixed with normal catfish pellets but i always have some fresh cucumber in the tank aswell.
the sailfins will grow into monsters when they start on the pellets, hope you can accomodate him as my 3 have just hit the 20" mark and are still growing :)
