I have a question about Repashy. I'm having a hard time deciding between Super Green or Soilent Green.

The plecos in the tank include L129, L387, LDA74, and Acestridium Dichromum (green whiptail).

Any guidance would be greatly appreciated.

These two foods are very similar in terms of the ingredients. The main difference is that the Soilent Green contains Krill meal, Squid Meal and Fish Meal and the Super Green does not. The result is Soilent has a slightly higher protein (40% vs 35%) and ash content (12% v.s. 9%).

L129 is a Hypancistrus which prefers a more meaty diet. I would suggest feeding them a mix of the Repashy Bottom Scratcher and Soilent Green. I use and 80% B S and 20% S G.

L387 is a Pekoltia and they too prefer a more meaty diet.

LDA074 is an Ancistrus and they are aufwuchs feeders so they also get some meat from eating the tiny critters living in the algae they rasp. I would suggest Soilent Green for them since it is designed for Aufwuchs feeders. You can even feed them meaty food like blood worms etc. now and then.

I am unfamiliar with Acestridium Dichromum. However, I found this on diet from ScotCat:

Diet: Fine Vegetarian foods especially algae and small meaty foods such as brine shrimp nauplii. They rarely sit on the substrate but on leaf stalks and branches so they are especially difficult to feed.

from https://www.scotcat.com/loricariidae/ac ... hromum.htm

From this I would also suggest the Soilent Green might be the better choice.

Thank you very much. I've decided on the Soilent Green, I appreciate your help in deciding.
