Small L25 diet
Posted: 02 Jul 2012, 02:50
Hi Pleco Fans,
I recently converted my 150 gallon into a Scarlet pleco tank. I received a few small Scarlets around 2.5-3 inches last week. The tank has a built-in wet/dry that's pretty big. The tank is loaded with Malaysian driftwood. I have tried feeding them a couple of algae wafers and sinking Hickari Gold pellets, which I don't think they ate. I tried a frozen spriulina brine shrimp and frozen blood worms. I have't actually seen them eat, but in the morning, the blood worms are gone. Not too sure about the brine shrimp, as I did see some the next day, but I don't know if they ate some of them. So needless to say I'm feeding them blood worms, but what else would they like? Anyway, I'm new to these guys so any advise on diet, setup etc. would be much appreciated. Thanks..
