Can't say for sure about plecos, but my Moors love peas (shelled), zucchini, blanched spinach and lettuce. Uncooked (shelled) peas are very good for cleaning out the intestinal tract of most fish is what I've read.

Yeah my pitbull plecs love cucumber you just have to Blanche it first. Also don't leave it in for more than 24hrs as it messes up your water

Not sure about canned, I use frozen peas. I saw a post where just the bean from green beans was fed to their fish.

How do you prepare the peas?

I use frozen, defrost them in filtered water and then use a sharp knife to split the shell and squeeze the meat out. Then just drop them in the tank and my Morrs go bat **** crazy gobbling them up lol.
