Pleco food?
2007-04-28 11:21 pm
I just bought a pleco and algae wafers. However, today I noticed that the food label said "Great for catfish, loaches, and other bottom feeders." Will my pleco eat this food? Please reply ASAP.

Assuming you got just a regular old run of the mill plecostomus, yes. They are catfish and bottom feeders and enjoy algae, spirulina wafers and the odd vegetable like Romaine lettuce, zucchini and cucumbers.Just be aware that not *all* plecos are that way. There are several species that are carnivorous scavengers. The Leopard Pleco prefers meat, both the zebra and chocolate zebra are meat eaters and there are others. Always check with the store before assuming one way or another.

Our pleco eats what ever we feed. They generally aren't picky. Its a bottom feeder thing. Or 12 inch pleco will even surface to go after hikari pellets.

Yeppers, plecos are bottom feeders so it should be fine. But if you are really worried about your pleco try bits of soft fruit like bananas or squash or zuccini. Also some driftwood is bennificial for minerals and stuff.

My dear, i presume you have other fishes in your tank and rocks, pebbles and/or some plants real or artificial. if that's the case feed everything else and not the pleco. the pleco will fing his own food source in your tank and keep your tank clean in the process. it's really an impossible fish to kill.

Most definately. U said that the food is 4 catfish and other bottom feeders......well, a pleco is both a catfish AND a bottomfeeder, so this will be a gr8 food 4 ur fish. If u examine ur pleco, u'll notice that his/her mouth is turned towards the bottom. This is 4 eating the foods on the bottom of the tank, thus making it a bottom feeder. Enjoy!

Absolutely!
A Pleco is a Catfish and a Bottom Feeder.
You could also strap some cucumber to a rock with an elastic band, the Pleco would really enjoy that!
Plecos also enjoy, carrots, lettuce, peas and other veggies.
Good Luck!

That will be fine. It is the same type of food. "Bottom feeder"

He might. None of our fish, snails, shrimp will eat algae wafers though ('cause they're spoiled and hold out for better stuff). You might want to augment the wafers occasionally with a slice of raw zuccini, or maybe a slightly cooked green bean.

Yes they are in the same family.

Yes, that is waht I give to my Pleco and he eats them up! :)

Your pleco is a bottom feeder. The food is fine.
