    hi, i put in a slice of cucumber for my L248 (?) & L200, last night, this morning left with the "ring". i'll post pictures of what's left this morning, in my photos.yahoo, tonight. that is, if i can access yahoo...![:]

    i tried a leaf of the iceberg lettuces the other night, but nothing much happened.

    the L248 (?) was "stuck" to the cucumber slice, from "start to finish"![:0] he didn't even want to let go, when i was fishing the slice out![]

    sera viformo tablets seems to have disappeared from the market. bought jbl from bishan yesterday, instead. [:]

    what do you guys & gals feed your plecorys?

    kelvin, don't need to wait for L046. if still available, that L248(?) that i got from petmart is also very cute! there's a slightly smaller one left, if no one has taken it yet. the rest were much bigger.

    it's very active (dug one corner of the gravel) and has good appetite too! not very shy, either!

    then when you get your L046, you'll have a striped pleco and a dotted pleco! wah lah!

    ninjafly, hope not!!![:0]

    first night i left a iceberg lettuce leaf, nothing much happened. (will try romaine lettuce later).

    second night i left a slice of cucumber, only the ring left.

    last night, i left 2 slices of zucchini and 1 slice of cucumber, hardly anything left of the zucchini and a 10centcoin-size hole in the cucumber.

    so the zucchini won!!![] but i think the zucchini is abit messy, cos little bits found floating in the tank this morning, had to run a net through...[:]

    allen, with only 2 plecos (and 3 otos), how much is too much?

    I tried cucumber today, but it didn't sink. How do you guys make it sink, or just leave it floating?

    allen, i started fresh vege only recently, after i suspected for my holes-in-java-ferns![]

    i'm at present "planting" 2 slices of cucumber/zucchini nightly.

    oh, i do feed them other foods, but that's earlier in the evening.

    The onli prob. about vege feeding is the " amount of mess " after they're done eating hence I onli do it once a week before water change, []
    I ususally attached the zucchini to a pcs of fishing weight which is also tied to a fishing line. With this method u can lower the vege to the bottom without using ur hand or equipment, check it out ! Cheers []
