At what point could one add a Dwarf Pleco to their new tank?
Could you add them almost any time and feed them sinking carnivore pellets?
 
I am going to **assume**.your tank is fully cycled not **just set up**. I wouldn't add dwarf plecos until you have a few hiding spots, preferably wood, but plants will do as long as you have a couple of pieces of wood to gnaw on will do. I'd feed veggie pellets not carnivore pellets
 
As mother stated, they need wood. What type of pleco is it? There's a lot of dwarfs
 
What size is your tank? That makes a difference as well. Other tank mates?
 
My clown pleco has been living off of only algae for 6 months
