more pleco questions

[GuppyDude]

are plecos nocternal or just hate light? my pleco hides all day and doesn't come iut until the lights go off. when i first got him he had a bad eye infection that i quickly treated but even after it got better he still seems a bit sensitive

and is there anything else i can feed my pleco? i alternate him between my 2 10g every other week to eat upp all that fresh alge but at times theres just not enogh, i thogh in alge tabs but he wont touch em, the only ones who show interest r my 2 corys. is there any kind of boiled veggies i can throgh in for him?

Common plecos are often nocturnal along with many species of pleco. I wouldn't worry, he's fine.

As for feeding, make sure you throw in those algae tablets after the lights have gone out. You can also offer a variety of vegetables including cuccumber, zucchini, sprouts, peas and lettuce (not iceberg). You also don't have to boil them - just weight them down with a plant weight.

Commons also like meaty foods such as bloodworm and shrimp pellets. My common also likes prawns.
