Feeding plecos with hungry Africans
« on: March 19, 2013, 07:58:28 AM »
OK, in a very active tank of Africans... how do you get the pleco wafers to the plecos!?

The rest of the fish thought it was a game of rugby and chased each other around with the wafer until one of larger could finally swallow it.

Drop more than one in.
 Drop one at one end of the tank & when the fish go for it drop another at the other end.
Drop the wafer in after the Africans have eaten their food.
Drop a few in after lights out.

I started with one wafer... put in three.  It was quite interesting to watch the fish "playing" with them.  This was after feeding them.

I guess I will have to put them in at night.

The other tanks, the fish didnt even pay attention to them... just the 140 mixed tank.
