I picked up some lettuce and just put it in a chip clip tied to a fishing line and dropped it into the tank. Took all of about 20 seconds for the first of the plecos to find it and start chewing on it

Mine like romaine lettuce too, but it's really messy in the morning.

Exactly, just crunchy water.  For people it's just a way to get the salad dressing into your mouth.

Yep I know, I read up on it the other night. Mainly I just wanted to see if they would go for something new or be scared away from it first. I was actually looking for zucchini tonight but the only zucchini they had was squash zucchini, and the cucumbers they had looked really bad. So for $1 for the lettuce I figured I'd see how they reacted to it and then pick up some zucchini this weekend when I had more time to hit a better store.

I feed romaine through the spring/summer/fall while I have it in the garden. (Don't buy it in the winter because it either goes bad too quickly in the fridge or if I eat it as salad, it's gone too fast.)

Just got home with some zucchini and washed a slice and put it on a fork and dropped it in...They are MAULING it right now lol. By far the zucchini seems to be a winner. Thanks for the help.

It amazes me how much these guys can put away.  Kind of like teenagers.

Here's one right now. I think they are starting to get full because the first hour there was 3 of the 6 on it. Now there's only one but they have all been on it over the past 3 hours.
