I have used these pellets from Kens fish and they are great. They will make your wildcaught L #'s plecos rush out of their cave to eat.

I have probably been the foremost praiser of the merits of earthworms sticks both here on planetcatfish and simplydiscus. I also use earthworm flakes. Both as is and as a major component in my beef heart blends.
Earthworm sticks were developed as a breeding stock conditioning food for the commercial aquaculture industry. Especially for Channel Catfish and Tilapia propagation. It is an expensive aquaculture food but compared to commercial tropical fish fish foods, it is quite economical. Most of our fish are measured by weight in grams rather than pounds.
They are supposed to be 46% protein. I use about one pound of them each month. Five pounds costs about $52.

They are a great catfish food and are one of the favorite foods of my Heckel Discus. Other species of discus do not eat them with the same enthusiasm.
I get them from http://www.aquaticeco.com.

I use them on Sturisoma breeders and also raise their fry on earthworm sticks.

Thank you guys.
In my place (indonesia), pleco fish is very difficult to be found. And if they're available, the price is very expensive. So I have desire to make an effort to breed this exotic and beautiful fish.
But what I'm working is still a hobby as a side job.
Once again thank you so much for all your advice.
I'm sorry my english is not good.
