What plecos eat....?

Question

2 years ago.. i had a pleco.. and i fed it algae discs.. it didnt eat it.. ever.. so then the goldfish ate it..and then the pleco died after a month.. i miight get another one.. so what would it eat?

Answer 1

I just have a regular Common Pleco. I've asked a question about him and my Peppered Corydoras a few days ago. When i feed my other fish in the tank, they come up to the surface of the tank and just poke their noses and mouths out and they'll eat the flakes or whatever i decide to give them. So if you have a tank with a good filter or even an underground one, it will shake up the water and will make some of the flakes go to the bottom and the Pleco might eat it. =] I've had my pleco and Cory Cat for 2 years and they know where the food comes from so they've learned where it comes from.But that will take some time that's when the filter comes in handy!

Answer 2

buy a stainless steel tank clip so you can feed it prawns, muscles, cucumbers, zuccini, etc.
