[fischfan13]

Lets hear it...
Whatcha feeding your Plecos?

All the above?

[Afreakin]

My feed:

Cyclop-eeze

Algae Wafers Hykari (spelling)

NLS 1mm and 5mm

Xtreme Crunble

HBH Super Soft Spirulina

[AlishanAS]

Blood worms, brine shrimp, mysis, Hikari pellets, Sera wafers.

The Hypancistrus group are carnivores. Baryancistrus and Peckoltia are omnivores tending toward meatier foods.

I tried feeding my albino ancistrus some new metsie wafers but they kept choking, hehehehe.

[mack74]

nls, veggies, and flake food

[CJC]

Spirulina pellets, Zuccini, The Moba's fight over it too.

[Artie]

My albino bushies LOVE HBH algae wafers !!!!!!!!

[ValleyAquatics]

Frozen mysis shrimp for the L046 and spirulina flake and wafers for the Calico plecos.

[Afreakin]

I just picked up some TetraPro Crisps. The crude protien is 47%, a little high but I will only feed it 1 or 2 times a week. I also picked up some frozen mysis and Brine shrimp. Never fed them this before so it will only be a 1 or 2 time a week treat. If anyone feeds their fish the frozen shrimp on a regular basis let me know.

[AlishanAS]

I feed the L046 and L260 nothing but bloodworms, mysis and brine shrimp.

[TOMMYN3D]

I feed my plecos HBH shrimp pellets an HBH algae wafers. they seem to like it i never herd them complain.lol. I have (2)L052 ,a common pleco 10inches and a clown pleco. i wait to feed them at night at bedtime when all the lights are out to make sure the other fish dont eat it. I also have 5 hoplo catfish that eats with them.

canned, french cut string beans- no waste. They devour it and grow like weeds

[Spooky_Fish]

Primarily HBH wafers. Also Pellets, french cut beans and zucchini.

[gmoses]

i am trying to feed my pleco zucchini but the cyno's go after it before he even knows its there...
I tried doing after its lights out, 7 11 even 3 in the morning yet those little bastards see it coming and the poor pleco doesnt get fed. I even tried placing the zuchini by the pleco a few times and he doesnt go for it. Is he not interested or just not getting a chance to feel it out? I will try some other stuff in the next couple of days...
Is it bad for teh other fish to eat the zucchini

[s10jimmy]

Green beans !:hat:

[dbondi]

Not every day, of course !!

I would agree with everything except frozen tubifex worms.
Or as I call them sewer worms. Never know where they came from and if they have been properly cleaned and purged.

[Longstocking]

I keep a few plecos and they get different food...

L270 ... I have a bunch of fry in there too.... golden pearls,decap brine,any type of pellet, mysis, shrimp...

L066 ... Lots of types of pellets,mysis, black worms, shrimp

L033 ... Same as L066

L174 ... same as L066

Calico longfin BN's ... NLS wafers, pellets, black worms, zuccini, flakes...anything in my hands at the moment :)

Albino longfin and short fin BN's .... Same as Calico's.

[vanillarum]

Yep, I have read a lot about the pros and cons of tubiflex. After asking around, I decided that many, many people use them. I have been feeding them to my fish for over 2 years with no problems. They are mainly for my corys, but the plecos will scoop a few also.
