I have bought a few tubs from Pier in the past, its a shame they have stopped stocking it, they had a good selection.

Re: Discussion: Plecos and Fruits?
Mango seems to be the runner here. Sadly not all plecos love it alike. L134 and L260 and L201 seem to ignore it pretty much. But they are pretty carnivorous so that was kinda expected. Other Peckoltia, like L006 and L477 (well I guess they are L477) love it. Same for Ancistrus (L183). Gold Nuggets L177 and Panaqolus L204 seem to eat some as well.
For the mentioned plecos they acutally prefer mango over cucumber. The Mango is always all gone while the cucumber is still half there.

Re: Discussion: Plecos and Fruits?
It is really rare to see my L183 male come out during day... he won't come out for wafers etc...
The L006 and L191 were on the case as well, but they hid when I wanted to film them.
Btw, I watched my biggest Discus female repeatedly eat the soft stuff from the inside of the cucumber

I feed my Zebra plecos mangos and papaya. They love papaya..
I'm going to try other fruits.

Re: Discussion: Plecos and Fruits?
Nice input there, Addicted. Thanks.
Papaya seems like another tropical fruit. Too bad I don't like to eat papaya myself
Papaya is quite soft, right? I feel that the softer the food, the better they like it.

Re: Discussion: Plecos and Fruits?
So far, my plecos like both watermelon rinds and cantaloupe rinds.

Re: Discussion: Plecos and Fruits?
They would also like the fruit, not just the rinds
