After an Ich disaster about 3 1/2 ago, I'm starting fresh with new fish.
I've added a cute little Common Pleco (about 2 1/2 inches long) and a Bleheri Plant to the tank.
Although I've been cleaning the tank for the past few weeks, wiping the glass and vacuuming the sub-strait, there's a lot of algae build up.
I think the Pleco will enjoy the algae, and he's been moving from rock to rock and sucking on the glass.
My question is, should I supliment his diet with anything other than that? I still have bloodworms in the freezer and flakes I used to feed my Tetras.
I've read that leafy greens are good - and things like cucumbers and melons. Would those be for larger, more mature Plecos? I think I have a real baby.
And would the plant also help with extra food to nibble?
Any advice would be appreciated.
I hope to add more Tetras in another week or so.
