After months of trying to get my Pleco to eat anything except Hikari algae wafers, he finally discovered that zucchini is edible. I have previously tried lettuce, zucchini, squash, and cucumbers in the tank and the veggies were alway ignored. If I put in a Hikari algae wafer, the Pleco would find it in about 2 minutes with no lights on. I went a couple weeks w/o putting algae wafers into the tank so all he had was tank algae and scraps. Then I tried the zucchini again hoping the Pleco would be hungry enough to eat the zucchini for a change. When I woke up the Pleco had eaten a big chunk out of it, woohoo 8)
