    Default BNP eating

    Hey pleco keepers Got some questions.

    I jumped on a trio of longtail albino BNP from pat (1M, 2F).

    They are in my grow tank (120 gallon), the other inhabitants are as follows:

    2 Golden severums (6 inch)
    4 Green terrors (2 inch)
    6 rams (1 - 1.5 inch)

    I have been feeding zucchini and Hikari Algae wafers. I am just not sure they are getting the food. They wafers are usually gone by morning, but the sevs. sometimes pick at them too....

    Please no comments on the rams and terrors being together, Temporary growout :P Saw a ram chasing a Terror today, that was a first for me

    Oh, and the tank setup its Bare bottom, lots of river rocks, and little driftwood. No caves for the plecos, but lots of little nooks between rocks.

    I want to keep These little guys alive. I will be moving them to a 30 gallon with the rams once i reseal it and get it operational

    Cheers

    Alex

    I'm no pleco expert but just check their bellies out when they are on the glass. If their bellies aren't concave, then they are getting some of the food.

    In my discus tanks, I throw in Indian Almond leaves which the BN seem to love to tear apart
