    i was wondering what you feed your long fin albino bristlenose plecos? i tried to feed my trio some veggies but they wanted nothing to do with it. i also tried some algae wafer with no success. i currently have them with some of my other plecos and they are getting brime shrimp.
    so what do you feed them?

    my normal brown trio loved zuchinni and squash. these will not touch it. i think they do like the brime however. there is no way the place i got them from was feeding them brime.

I also feed all the stuff ya'll do, also i feed Plecocaine ,I am sure there is more... Mine eat anything my fish do also. And that is a lot of different foods.

    Yes, I am wondering about the sweet potato, too. Mine eat zucchinni and algae wafers, but the zucchinni makes such a mess in the tank! Great tip about the frozen burssel sprouts and non-salted green beans, too!!! I am always worried that my two don't get enough to eat because of the nerites. Can anyone recommend a brand of canned green bean that is not salted? I guess I could always use frozen ones (Birdseye usually contains no salt in their frozen veggis).
