bristlenose feeding question

Post by ellagor »

I have a small bristlenose pleco in my 55 gallon aquarium. I decided to try feeding him zucchini and he seems to love it. My question is, how often should I feed him to provide him with an adequate food supply. I don't feed him otherwise, and am not sure how much they are able to get from feeding on waste and algae in the tank. I want to make sure that I am providing him with all of the food and nutrition that he needs. Thanks for any advice.

Once a week would be the absolute minimum if theres nothing else about. Also try peas, cucumber, lettuce, bloodworms or sinking wafers once or twice a week if you can get it to them helps to.

If you do a search on PC there is loads of information on serving suggestions.

Green beans are loved by all of my BR just split them in half, take out the beans and rinse them and they devour them.
