Pleco diets

[Koikeeper99]

What do you feed your plecos? I have a 10" common and a 3" golden nugget and am trying to change up their diet a bit.

Cucumber Zucchini Carrots, Algae wafers, shrimp pellets, driftwood, mine will actually eat just about anything -- oh, does not like summer squash. LOL who does?

For their staple diet Hikari Bottem Feeder Sinking Waffers are good. Then veggies with that

If they dont like wafers that would suck.

My Pleco like Oranges

I know this is weird but along with squash, blanched peas and wafers my pleco also sucks the heck out of an orange.

That is weird- never would have thought to give them oranges
