Bulldog Pleco

[lilfishie]

Got myself a Bulldog Pleco last week and i must say he is such a lovely little chap always out and about and got rid of all my algae in less than a day

anyway he is currently feeding on shrimp, catfish pellets and the occasional bloodworm, is there anything else i could feed him? does he need veg or meatier foods? and does he require bogwood?


sorry for all the questions have only kept BNs before

My old Bulldog Pleco used to love Zucchini and the occasional bit of cucumber

No... bogwood isnt essential but is always a good thing to add if you have plecs in the tank... makes very good hiding places and good for them to rasp on even if they arnt a wood eating species.

Food wise, feed a good range of foods, they should be offered and varying range of veg and live/frozen foods. They can be a abit finicky to feed on many foods so perseverance is the best way to go.


Nice fish and congrats on your new(ish) purchase

They require cooler temps than most other Lori's, also love highly oxygenated water.

Mix of veg and meatier foods is best, they are omnivores.
