Re: My plecos
Very nice, all of them...
Never give up until you have released your unused capacities for service and shared your gift with others. One enkindled spirit can set hundreds on fire.

Re: My plecos
Hi all,
They look in good condition, but a bit thin. Might be the camera angle, but this L200:
Shows what I mean.

Re: My plecos
Thanks for the links. Im adding some pvc pipes and will aim to target feed more. Both the l600 and l200 are great eaters but im having issues feeding them for a couple of reasons. The pearsei is a beast of an eater and the flow in that tanks is a bit much (2262 and ac110) nothing settles on the bottom so by the time thw plecos realize theres food its being blown all over the place. Latley ive been turning the filters off when feeding and it ses to help.dw1305 wrote:Hi all,That could be it, try feeding them at night, and give them some vegetables.co77 wrote:They eat once or twice a day nls and algaemax.

Re: My plecos
Hi all,
Try a stainless steel spoon handle or "screwcumber", to hold the vegetables still. Then you can just leave them in over-night.
