Hey, all. I just wanted to share something with everyone. I didn't always have luck with plecos till now. I started feeding them algae wafers like two or three times a day. I feed one algae wafer per pleco. I've never seen plecos thrive soo greatly before. They are getting big quick. They were about 2.5 to 3 inches about 3 or four months ago and now they are about 6 inches long. I'm very proud of my plecos. They also clean my tank like crazy too. I love these guys:).

I love feeding my plecos and cories with cucumbers!!!They love it till they everytime gather around the cucumber!!!And they will eat scrape flake foods on the gravel too.I have a lot of bottom feeders till i find my mid tank too bare...
