Quick feeding question.

What should I feed my algae eating pleco that won't get gobbled up by my victorians ?

I have tried a sinking pellets and flakes both don't even reach the pit bull pleco. So I'm kinda wondering what now , it sucks that the tank is kept too clean at the moment since there is no algae growing on the glass rocks or decor. So what will the pleco eat but the vics won't ?

Try a piece of zucchini or throw in a piece of driftwood. If the zucchini is big enough to feed the entire tank you should be fine. Also feed at night time, not sure about that pleco but most of them are freaks and come out at night. Lol.

Just soften the zucchini up by boiling it or sticking it the mwave.

you can also use tablets made for bottom feeders. place one or two tabs in the aquarium when you are about to turn the lights off. they will find the food and eat without the interfernce from the other fish.
