Right now I have a common pleco that I will be returning to my lfs when i get a chance. My tank isnt big enough and I already have a monsterous poop machine, i dont need 2. I am thinking about getting a gold nugget(if I can find one) in his place. If I cant find a gold nugget or they are too expensive i will probably get a bristlenose. I looked at a few online fish stores and I would love to get an exotic cool looking pleco but the shipping is just too much to pay on top of the actual cost of the fish. I like plecos I think they are cool fish and i would like to have one but I really want to be able to feed it a balanced diet. Right now I am trying to get my common to eat zucchini and cucumbers but he doesnt bother with them at all. I have been strapping pieces to a piece of driftwood and he eats around them. I throw algae wafers in at night also but I doubt he gets many of them because my oscar likes them as well.
My question is how can I get them to realize that this stuff is food? I basically just cut off a piece about a half an inch to an inch thick and strap it somewhere, which has been unsucessful so far. I appreciate any help anyone can give me! Thank you.
