Hi everyone!
I recently acquired a new common pleco, a juvenile of about 2". He's not eating much: I dropped in one of the HIkari algae wafers about a week ago, along with some zucchini the next day, and he wasn't interested in either. He's made some progress on some romaine lettuce I weighted under a rock, but not much else.

Is it normal for small plecos to eat little? If not, what are some foods that your plecos ate when they were young? I'm worried about my fish. :(

:thanks:
 
I make my own gel food out of peas, spinach, spirulina, agar agar, and a little shrimp. They go nuts for it.
