Pleco Feeding

[longhorn]

My problem is that I have 3 Clown Loach in the tank along with my Pleco. The clown loach are very aggressive and no matter what food you drop into the tank they will always get the first bite... I mean... most of the bites. My Pleco is shy so I am not sure he get anything at all, especially the wafers.

I tried to drop a piece of banana in the tank since it will just drop to the bottom on its own. I know the Clown loach got a good feast but am not sure if my Pleco get any. Anyone got experience with banana?

never thought about the bananna before.

I tried the cucomber, but he didn't take much/if any. I hope this just means that he is full from algea, which I must not be able to see.

Make sure you slice the skin off the cucumber before you put it in.

My plecos will actually eat the skin of zuchini and cucumber.
