[winmore]

Hi can you tell me what food i can give my plec.at the moment he just has algae wafes.

Plecos enjoy leafy lettuces and also zuchinni. You can also find flake foods with vegetables in them which he may like. Some plecos also like to eat/chew on wood. So if you have wood in your tank and it has become a little soft, you might find him nibbling on that. Good Luck

Cucumber, courgette, potatoe, melon, peas, grapes, tomatoes, etc, etc.

Try some shrimps every now and then as well, many plecos enjoy eating meat, too.

And for shrimps or veggies, don't just drop them in the tank. Put them on a fork or something like that that has some weight to keep them at the bottom, plecos can't eat them if they are just floating around in the surface.

For example, like this. Those are my bristlenoses enjoying a piece of watermelon.

They've been fine with a knife for years (I'd be more worried about a fork O__o) since it's a normal knife you use when eating, so it's not even sharp.

Some people have build holders for veggies themselves though, I just can't remember what kind of... And yeah, the most of the times we use spoons, because they don't have any sharp parts.

I have never used tomato, something in my head says it would be too acidic.

Plus once the flesh is gone there is not all that much you can use.
