Hi I been feeding my pleco's different vegetables like cucumber, butternut squash,& zucchini which they seem happy with. I've been cutting into 4" peices and weighting down, leaving in for between 12 to 24 hours. My question is this, should I and do I need to prepair them. I've read about blanching ...

Just added number 11, a Baryancistrus beggini (L239) "Blue Panaque Pleco" it's a beaut!

Thanks guys, all your help has been great. My aim was to see roughly how long I can enjoy my pleco's in my tank before they out grow my tank and need to re-home them.
Thanks

Ok
1. Temp 26
2. 190L
3. 6 month
4. 25% once a week.
5. All water results fine.

Just a rough idea guys, will be fine
Many thanks

What do you guys think?

Dose anyone use any of the eBay shrimp vacuum bags. Our they any good or just cheap rubbish.
What foods do you guys mostly use?

That's been really helpful, thanks
The golden nugget and sultan seem to be the only ones to be shy to eat.
Can you really get hybrids offspring?

Do you still have the l114 and do you ship?

What meats are you guys recommending?
I've heard some meats can get stuck in there mouths
Is that wright.

The tank has a large peace of bogwood at it's centre with loads of holes with rocks all around it's side and top.
I've been feeding wafers, bloodworm and cucumber.

There all fairy small and the only grief I get is from the green phantom. On the hole I think I've been quite lucky, it's well built up with lots of rocks to hide
