Hi, I have 2 longfin bristlenose plecos for the past few weeks. I'm just a bit worried that they are not eating any zucchini or algae wafers that I put in the tank.
I leave the zucchini overnight and the next morning it doesn't look touched. And if I drop a wafer anywhere near them they just ignore it.
Now, they seem to be growing and are pooping constantly. They are always sucking on the driftwood, cleaning my plants and everything else of algae, and their bellies look fine.
Does anyone else have experience with their BN plecos surviving exclusively on wood and algae? They were pretty small when I got them so i'm guessing they'll take extra food when they mature a bit?
Also, my driftwood has white fuzz growing all over it. I've read it's not harmful and will go away after a while and ALL of my fish eat it. Just wondering what it is? They all love nibbling on it
