ok just a while ago my pleco was sucking on the cucumber for like 2 minutes and then swam away, did it eat anything or what the hell was all that sucking about?

ist zuccini a cucumber

i slice up the cucumbers and put it at the bottom of the tank floating by a heavy string barely touching the surface and its all there the next day, isnt the pleco suppose to eat

Thanks, i put the apple in there but it didnt eat any when i get some $$$ very soon ill get the proper food, why does my pleco's tail keep waging at one side, is it sick

well his belly is kinda flat but not round nor caved in and its still young so im just feeding him goldfish flakes which flot to the bottom of the tank or oscar pellets, is there a special food for plecos

For the past days i have never seen STIX(pleco) eat anything before. Other than oscars and goldfishes that i have had in the past how the hell am i suppose to tell if the poor thing is eating or not?

ok geez i thought we could at least joke around, i mean you dont say anything when other members literally curse at me saying im a bad fish keeper, and you didnt even answer the mans questions

Thanks ill do, ill put some apple in there now then if theres any left ill take it out in the mornig. One more thing if the apple stays in there to long can it mess up amonia or something?

i wanted to know if i can give my baby pleco(STIX) fruits like apples, grapes, or any other vetgetable like carrots other than cucumber. Tell me all you know, . SIKE but try to help me out

ok i got a small tiger oscar and i maintained that when the pleco and the oscar get bigger that i will get a bigger tank, right know there both about the same size i heard that oscars a pretty agressive, If you have any advise that i should know about these two babies(2 inich) let me know.
