Feeding problems

[nickjamesuk]

When I feed my fish all of the fish rush to eat the flkes I'm giving them, except for my 3 Bristlenose pleco. This is a problem because I don't think my Bristlenose pleco are getting enough food. I've tried using sinking pellets to feed them, but the other fish snap them up too. What can I do?

Welcome to AA nickjamesuk!

Instead of sinking pellets, try sinking algae wafers. Also, if possible, wait an hour or so after lights out, and then put the wafers in. Plecos are active at night, so while your other fish are resting, the plecos can eat.

Thanks for that, I'll give it a go. And thank's for the welcome.

you can also try cooked peas without the skin(preferably the frozen ones)
