What to feed this guy?

[West1]

I got a Lemon Pleco at 7" or so. Do they just eat veggies?

driftwood, algae wafers, zucchini, and you will prolly see him eating food that hits the bottom

Sorry, I edited it... it is a green Lemon pleco

Algae Wafers, Zucchini, Blackworms, and mine even went after floating pellets and shrimp.

These are omnivores with a tendency towards veggies. for more info look up L200 on www.planetcatfish.com

Nice pleco!

I've heard lots of names for it.. Lemon pleco, green spotted pleco, avocado pleco..

But when it comes right down to its.. Its call L-200 Green Phantom... it also has a cousin L-128 Blue Phantom, looks exactly alike, but very dark/azul blue..

They will eat any veggie.. algae wafers, even potatoes.... all u need is something to weight the veggies down... Try using a fork.. or what i like to use.. Turkey pins, stuff u would use to put stuffings in and close the turkey up for baking.. I find that the best.... I usually tie it to a wire so its like a chain.

Best of luck!

Thanks for all the info... the L# is what I needed pretty much (I dont know much about plecos) and I can use this to find a lot of ifo, thanks
