i have been feeding my 2 plecos zucchini, but i am unsure how often i need to give them this and how much so they are healthy and grow properly? also is there any fruit and veg i should avoid?:confused:

you can give them as much as you want as long as they are eating it all, and as long as you are willing to do the maintenance necessary. i give 1/2 zucchini twice a week or so, supplementing with shrimp pellets and algae wafers on other days. avoid fruits, as the high amounts of sugar can cause bacterial blooms in the water.
 
BE SURE to take it out if they don't eat it. I had an ammonia spike occur because I forgot to take out a piece of zucchini that my otos ignored.
