Plec Question

[clarepulley]

my bristle nose plec is 7yrs old now and has been fed a combination of floating wafers, occasional veggies mostly cucumber and courgette. i tried him on some carrot the other night and he didn't touch it, tried a spinach leaf the night after still nothing. i was worried he wasn't eating and was poorly so went back to the wafers and he seemed to eat it straight away. Any ideas i do have some frozen bloodworm for my tetras would he like that, i know they are veggies but i read somewhere that they like eating them occasionally?

All my plecs like the ocassional feed of bloodworms; once a week is fine.

If he's not used to being fed veggies, he might not recognise it as food. Keep on trying and he'll learn what it is None of mine will eat carrot, but they do like broccoli stalks (split open and cooked for a few minutes to soften), end slices of tomato (no seeds), apple and melon rinds.

Oh ok i thought he might think what the hell is that orange crap in my tank - thanks for the advice i will give him some worms tonight and then try a few different pieces over the next few days - thanks again
