W/C with babbie Plecos

[andyb]

When is a good time to safely do water changes in my 20gl tank with the 4 week old plecos? only mom and dad in the tank.

Any suggestions on feeding so far I have fed them algae wafers and zucchini.

Thanks for your help

any time is fine to change water you can aslo just use a container to remove some water as a 20 gallon is not that big they are very hardy fish just watch out you don't suck them up what you are feeding is fine I also give mine pellets as they break down the babies will attack them and also try to feed some cucumber they love it you are doing a fine job keep doing what you are doing

Also you can stick some nylons onto the end of the syphon to stop any from getting sucked up.

With my pleco fry tanks, I do a couple of water changes a week. I also feed a variety of foods. Depending on what kind of plecos, mine are bns so lots of veggies and home made foods and meaty foods once or twice a week.

My Plecos love Romain lettuce.
They eat more veggies than I do<G>

I stick a fork (the stainless steel corn cob holders work great) in it to weigh it down and remove any remains after 24 hours before is dissolves into a hard to pick up slime.
good luck
