Does anybody find that if algae wafers drift in between rocks n that, they go all manky and moldy and its only when you have a little clean out that you find them...

I hear that. I still feed wafers becasue there arn't alot of places that they can hide in my tank.

yeh i learned the hard way so ive also kept my tank to a bare minimum now...but i mainly feed Zucc anyway...

they seem to love the stuff!! I feed mine peas a couple times a week and almost as soon as I put them in the tank there already eating them. Same thing with blood worms, almost instantly gone.

Yep, they love it, but so do I so it's a wrench to part with it lol

Glad they liked it

We tried the sweet potato last night, and although Wayne decided to blanche it first, they seem to have had a go at it, although they all still prefer the cucumber lol

yes i had this problem but then invested in some Cherry Shrimp...... they eat any food the plecs cant get

so would cherry shrimps be ok in the breeding tank then ?

High guys , I'd recomend butternut pumpkin, I tried it last night with a good response from the fish .
I sliced a 10mm thick piece from a half pumpkin( and then forgot I had done it ) so the next night I cut the skin off ,took the core out and cut it into quarters ( I think being out of the fridge for the night softened it up a little, but next time I do it I'll cover it with cling wrap).
Every one of the plecs found it quick smart, even L001 thumped into it(hard) , there's still a little bit left this morning but is still nice and solid > zuchinni which will last a night but turns to muush.

Tubifex was an accidental hit with mine! I chucked in a freeze dried cube for my fish, and saw Lars go diving for any that sank to the bottom
But mainly mine go bonkers for Zucc, Lars attacks it almost instantly

sounds just like my female's............

cannot feed Tubifex because of my discus do not agree with them at all, if not careful will give them parasites and cause lots of problems so i steer clear of them

My adult ABN in the comm tank go crazy when I feed beef heart and homemade fish wafer to my discuses. They fight my discuses for the chunk of food. In my ABN juv only tank, they seemed to love peas, cucumber and now papaya, but payaya turn water cloudy pretty fast, so I stop.

check the dates on topic before dragging them up from the depths.

I have a breeding pair of longfins and they love eating spinach, zucchini...
