Is this for all plecos or just adults? I feed mine daily. Is that TOO much?? I do weekly water changes, nitrate/nitrite kept at/near zero.

edited to add that mine are all juveniles (<1 year)

I have an 8 inch liposarcus in with a few angels and a couple of loaches. I *specifically* feed the lipo 3-4 times a week, usually Hikari algae wafers although I will alternate those with Hikari Tropical Sinking wafers. I throw in 3; two for the lipo, one for everyone else cause they think its for them ;)

The reason I don't feed him more, is he has gotten a real taste for the angel's food. I use Spectrum pellets (yep, they contain spirulina), and within 2 minutes of me feeding the angels he's hoovering up the bottom. Between the driftwood, the different foods and the wee bit of algae on the tank walls I don't think his mouth ever stops LOL
