...to your plecos, do you drop them in raw, or do you blanch them or something? I just dropped in a raw baby carrot, and no attention is paid to it. :-\
....and yes, there ARE plecos in the tank!!! :o
I slice it lengethwise stick it on a fork and drop it in the tank. It took mine a night with it to figure out it was food. Once they figured it out they ate it all up.
Thanks, Lizz! I'll leave it a day and see what happens. Maybe it needs to soften up a bit on the outside.
Give them time to recognize it as food. You won't regret the outcome.
So far...not interested. I will slit the carrot and drop one piece back in tonight when I do a water change.

I slice em lengthwise ......some hit it right away..some hit it later...I even have a few that drag it under the wood to hoard it....LOL....I still feed other things too...plus zucchini.... yada yada
I slice it lengthwise, too. I dropped in a big one this morning. By afternoon one was working on a slice. Another is working on the other slice now. I know how they do with carrots. In a few days it will be devoured with nothing left but the skeleton of a carrot.
