Why can't ai keep Royal Plecos alive??

Now I need to find where I can get some drift wood. I was hoping to find some locally but my LFS seems to have the Mopani stuff you were talking about. I'm also need to find out if boiling will remove whatever it is the plecos need/want because I don't want to go to all this effort only to ruin it before adding it to the tank. I have read people say to boil drift wood before adding it to their tank but is this still protocol for wood intended for plecos?
As far as driftwood goes, I would contact Manzman http://www.monsterfishkeepers.com/forums/private.php?do=newpm&u=66887
He should be able to send you some. My royals love scraping this wood but like it was said above, your going to have to supplement it with other foods. There's never enough wood for these royals.

I never said my water levels were perfect but they're damn good and that's no mistake. I put a lot of effort into my tank and take pride in my fish. None of my other fish have shown issues and none of the other plecos show signs of stress or being beat up. Even the royals that died showed zero signs of stress or being beat up other than the slightly sunken stomachs and eyes. If you want to blame me that's fine, I've already admitted to probably not supplying adequate nutrition for the royals but don't blame my water conditions because the remaining fish are all plenty healthy.
