Abrasion on L-134

Post by Nozebleed »

Hi guy's. I picked up 3 of these wee fellows yesterday. Im wondering what i should feed them and how often i should feed. i cant find much info on the web regarding diet. I have a range of foods to hand. Frozen bloodworm,shrimp,lobster eggs. krill pellets,algae wafers,catfsh pellets and new life spectrum all purpose formula.

How often do you guys feed? what time of day? how much?

thanks!

They are omnivores, and take meaty as well as vegetarian food. For some tips on feeding, have a look at the article I wrote about feeding plecos. I also put together a per-genus list of diet, based on scientific and hobbyist information. Links to articles on the right of this post.
