| 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? |

| Mine eat unsalted canned green beans, sliced fresh zuchinni, frozen brine shrimp and algae wafers. The fry seem to really like grren beans. |

| 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). |
