I have one now for about 3 weeks. Mine eats algae and will sometimes munch on a piece of zucchini. I've tried other vegetables like broccoli stems, carrots, and spinach, but it doesn't seem to go for them.

I have also read that it will accept various fish food, but mine ignored flakes, sinking tablets, and sinking algae wafers. The last was a bit of a surprise.

It hides among rocks especially during the day and is more active at night.

I quite enjoy it. I'm actually planning on getting a couple more.

Thank you for your replies. I was curious about them because the lfs I visited didn't have any plecos available and suggested these instead. I didn't buy any because I hadn't read up on those at the time. Anyway, in the end I didn't end up getting them. I went to another fish store and got some gold ancistrus. They are in quarantine now. Hopefully the next 6 weeks or so in quarantine will be disease free.
