Bristlenose Pleco food

[wataugachicken]

mine eat green beans, zucchini, and wardley algae wafers. none of my plecos (and none of the snails, either) like the hikari ones.
if you use fresh veggies, blanch them for 30-60 seconds in water that is boiled with a crushed clove of garlic in it. it may tempt them more.

^ wow, you were successful breeding them?

The one I just bought from the LFS they got from a local breeder. I guess they bring them in about twice a year and the LFS sells out of them almost as soon as they come in. So I guess it's very possible to breed them in the home aquarium. They are albino ones so I'm not sure if that makes a difference but what adorable little guys.

A friend of mine breeds the albino BNs quite successfully. He supplies a number of stores in the area. I belive out of plecs, they are one of the easiest to breed.
