Hi. I've got one 4" pleco (and growing) and 2 x 2 1/2" pleco and 3 gold algae eaters.
Every few days, maybe only once a week or so I blanch brocoli and peas etc for them to eat. I put in about 1/2 a cup full, or hand full or so. In the morning, every little morsal of it is gone.
I'm wondering if I need to feed them their vegies more often than this. Considering the big one is gonna be a big one.
I can't afford algae discs etc etc cos they're $10 here in NZ and I'm poor. But brocoli is $2.
Do I need to feed them more. I'm thinking maybe I do cause all my new plants have gradually vanished. I'm asking coz I don't wanna just go ahead and end up over feeding them and killing them ( I love them so) and I don't wanna polute my tank.
Can someone please give me some advice
THanyou very very much
