Do You Feed Your Plecos Fresh Vegetables?

[Ender]

coryfav,

Your 3rd pleco is the same as mine..L134. It's color is very rich, esp the yellow. In fact I like it more than the L46.

[coryfav]

allen, thanks!

daniel ong has a lfs in toapayoh, he can have anything he wants!!! i think it's blk 94 or something like that.

L014 is in my "reserve" list, after i found out more about it. 1) it grows till "very" big, marked XL in my aqualog, while the others only marked L! 2) it'll have lesser orange and more spots, when it gets older. 3) i showed a lfs 2 pictures of it, one is younger and other is older. he pointed at the older one and said it's very fierce, but pointed at the younger one and said it's ok!...

yeah, i'm attracted by the younger L014. who knows, when i go look-see, may just pick it up. opps![:0]

my lunchtime group, after having witnessed my "$50 for 1 small fish", tries to lunch at non-lfs places now!!![]

well nevermind, there's a holiday next week and i'm planning to take leave for a long long pleco weekend!

[coryfav]

plecorymaniacs, try romaine lettuce. very well-liked by both plecos and corys.

but after 24hours, the mess in the pleco tank was[] .

available in smaller bunch from cold storage supermart in centrepoint.

goes well with your sandwiches too![]

Hi,off topic..has anyone seen the network pleco(l66)?would appreciate any lobang....cheers.

[coryfav]

allen, i notice that when raw potato slice is put into water, the water turns abit cloudy. what say you? still safe?

and also does potato leave behind bits of "debris" after it's being bitten by the plecos?

Flor ! yah ! noticed the water turned a bit cloudy ! but it is safe lah !. Next time try soaking the potato separately for a while b4 putting it into the tank , it helps ! .
The ' after feeding effect ' is slightly better than other veges. Check it out ! []

coryfav- its the starch from the potatoes.
i tried a grape over the weekend cause i was eating some, nope didn't touch. American lettuce, only wallop first 5 green leaves, the rest i have to eat.

chris- ur L46 are nocturnal, leave some frozen bloodworms in the tank just before lights out & they will be munching away whole night. It should be gone by morning.Slowly they should get used to it & come out in the day. Note Their barbels just below their mouths they dig around for worms just like corys but they do it at night.caught them red handed wif mouthful of worms last night 1am.
i got 2 tanks- one batch will eat in the evenings 6-8pm (i started this batch eating by using live worms in the afternoon)& the other only after lights out 10pm onwards(these were fed only frozen).

[coryfav]

yeah, it's the starch from the potato that stopped me from trying. ok, will try out potato so cos the "debris" driving me crazy![]

I normally feed my plecos lettuce. I take only the few outer leaves that are leafy n less stems. I pour boiling water on it and let it be for about 1 hr. After that, I put into my tanks. My mbunas will attack it once it touches the water till I anchor it at the bottom. The other tank, I anchor it at the bottom oso but my Tanganyikans not interested. So, by next morning, the lettuce oso gone. My pleco makan oredi. Not very messy for me. I still feed them algae pellets. Lettuce is a treat.
Must try zucchini n cucumbers. See how it goes.

Cheers
