Pl*cos usually enjoy Algae pellets/wafers which can be purchased at a pet store.

That's nice to know but isn't the usual pleco food Algae pellets and wafers?

It was stated clearly that Pl*comaniac was looking for other fruits and veggies that his pl*cs might enjoy and NOT the USUAL Algae wafers and pellets. Still thank you for the effort.
