I have a colony of L260 (5) in a tank with 6 Corydoras trilineatus for company.

I feed them.

Courgette (thawed from frozen) about once a week.
Have never seen them actually eating it but it allways gone by the next morning.

Each night I feed a random mix of
JBL Novo Fect Tabs - Which are a vegetable based tablet.
JBL Novo Tabs - A general mixe flake in tablet form.
Hikari Algae Wafers
JBL Pleco tabs
Wardley Shrimp pellets.

A mix of Frozen Bloodworms, Whiteworms, Brine Shrimp and Mysis shrimp about once every two weeks.

Have never actualy witnessed the L260's eating any of it, but I have had them about 7 monthes odd and they are all healthy and in good condition, so I presume they are eating something.

I have 2 L260's and feed them defrosted blood worm, shrimp, cucumber, courgette, potato, shrimp pellets, Sera Catfish Chips (which they love) and Tetra Prima.

I have been lucky enough to actually witness them eat. In fact, when I put the food in the tank, they normally come out together, chasing off cories and angels to get the food. They absolutely love the shrimp and blood worm. Only one of them eats the courgette and cucumber though. My male just ignores them. They also seem to chew on the drift wood. Not sure if they're eating algae or just having a chew.
