I got my bulldog pleco two weeks ago, and I haven't seen him eat anything yet.
He does not seem interested in the algae wafers (they are mostly gone after a day or two, but that may be the shrimps eating them).
I keep putting in spinach and zucchini but he barely touches them. He does seem to have eaten the skin off two slices of zucchini.
I read that you can tell if a pleco is too skinny by checking for a sunken stomach but he doesn't come to the glass. He mostly shuffles around on or behind this one rock.
Does he look like he is healthy? Am I just worrying for nothing? This little guy is so cute, I want him to do well!
Sorry about the photo quality, I can try to get better pics with my camera if he comes out again.
