Feeding carnivorous Plecos - How?

[Evolution Stu]

Hi folks,
I have a few cat fish in a tank with Corey's and Eartheaters. All South American.

The plecos are a green phantom and a queen arabesque.

How do you guys go about ensuring the plecos dietary requirements are met in a tank full of greedy bottom feeders?

I have the usual Algae tablets which I place as strategically as possible before lights out, same with slices of courgette. But I wonder about a protein for them.

The food is always gone next day, but who ate it?
Any feeding advice will be very greatly appreciated.

One trick you can do is cut some slots and holes in your courgette and jam some algae disc and 'meat' pellets into the courgette (sometimes you just jam the wafers in sideways without cutting a slot). This will eliminate a lot of cory competition but not sure how strong the eartheaters suction or digging capacity is?

What an awesome idea! Love that. Thanks.

Feed a night when the cichlids are dozing too.

Thanks Jools,
I put some stuff in while it was dark last night. Gave them an hour to start dozing first.
It's all gone today, but who knows who ate it? Lol
