Pleco Food

Post by Bamboo »

At the moment I use a mixture of three types of Dianichi pellets for my plecos. I was thinking of adding Repashy meat pie and Soilent Green. Any thoughts ?

i heard from Barbie that Repashy spawn and grow is one of the better foods for hypan plecos. i was thinking of getting it.

currently my L260 take Kens' Earthworm Sticks, Catfish pellets, and meat+spirulina wafers. they also love Omega One shrimp pellets.

Stop thinking of loricariidae as "plecos" and be more specific.

Good advice, over the hundreds of species the diets of "plecos" are even more varied than their appearance and size...

Err... no! If I pop into a shop here there's 3 major brands and 4 minor brands of food available. Add to that live and frozen fishfood and human food suitable for fish...
