Hi all!
About two weeks ago, at the grand opening of a lfs near me, I picked up a gorgeous Hi-fin Green Phantom Pleco. I've had him in my ten gallon QT since I got him, but I was wondering, just what do these guys eat? I dropped algae wafers in there when I got him and he didn't seem too interested. I've also dropped NLS pellets in there, and he didn't seem fond of those either. I read online that they'll sometimes take meaty foods, and I've also read they'll take vegetables like cucumber, any recommendations? And if I do give him veggies, how should I prepare them?
There isn't all that much information on them online, the little I have found has been mostly off of one website: (Piranha-Info.com© :: Green Phantom Pleco "Hi-Fin"). Any info would be appreciated! Thanks!
