What do you feed your BN plecos?

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.

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 feed mine algea waffers

wow, I feed mine A Meat with Spiullina waffer, Romaine lettuce, Brussels sprout frozen, drop them in the tank at bedtime. If any is left ( hardy ever) take it out. 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.

wow, never thought of sweet potato. nice information. get two >> one for fish and one for my sweet potato pie LOl

Mine eat dainichi, NLS, Spirulina flakes, algae wafers, brine shrimp stick, worm stick Zuchinni etc. I bet you if I dip my hand in the tank long enough they'll eat it too

Do you blanch the sweet potato? i have one here for my plecos but have never fed it before,

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).

Melon, yellow squash, zucchini...... I try out just about any fresh veggi I have. All raw.

I use canned store brand (Food Lion) green beans and they love them.

I can tell you they don't like cabbage

I've never seen that brand in my stores, but I am sure with a little label-reading, I can find some brand that doesn't h ave salt.

I feed them spirulina pellets, they love it... and finally they got into the zuchinni... they only leave the skin left lolll

All my Pleco tanks ( including LF ABN ) get Raw zucchini with seeds removed every 3 days or so ,Plecocaine , NLS ,Algae wafers ,and what ever flake makes it to the bottom through the dither fish. Any left over zucchini gets removed the next day at feeding time.

They don't seem to enthused with carrots....

I use the canned green beans from WalMart with no salt added. Very low sodium content and my BN love them. They are the WalMart brand.

Just went to Wally World to pick up some green bean cans for the plecos..

i just use those algea wafers and sticks veggies

They seem to really enjoy fresh cherry's! I just put one in the tank and within 2 minutes there were 4 chewing on it!

I tried the green beans and they loved them. However, they didn't like the brussel sprouts or sweet potato. They do love de-shelled peas, though!

Looks like I need to get some green beans! Not a common veggi in my house... yuck!

i never remove the uneaten veggies.their always gone the second day .
and i add a little salt to my tanks. so i never worry about a little salt in the g.beans.
