My Top 5 Favorite Pleco Foods

[@milehighplecos2318]

Pleco crack!

[@Jeffro]

Mile High Plecos Hahahahah yep

[@reptileguy8458]

2:44 morning wood...lol my gf likes the morning wood also.

[@tinyonvibrationtrainermach8729]

We don't have those package foods here in Dubbo, NSW, Australia and now my Plecos have gone off the pellets we have and I don't know what to do. They won't touch veggies either. They live off whatever algae is growing on the tank and decore.

[@FoisyAquatics]

Awesome stuff man! I took your recommendations and grabbed the Bug Bites and Catfish Sticks to add to all my Plecos’ diets. They all love it!

[@Jeffro]

That’s awesome man!!!

[@hvwkklifts3988]

I have a plecco in with my goldfish. Will I have to separate them at all? The goldfish are really aggressive when eating and my plecco stays more docile so I don’t want them to steal the food

[@TaciGrant]

Thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I’m on it! Just got an albino bristlenose placo girl! 🤗 Her name is Madona 😁

[@Dawudtru]

Thanks for the info.

[@Jeffro]

No problem

[@sandrahamilton3982]

I really enjoyed your workshop. Where do you get a pleco feeder. We dont have alot of suppliers here in Washington, Mo. Nor alot of places nearby. We have found that we love our plecos and and slowly decreasing our other fish, and just going to pleco. I love them!!!

[@isaiahdelacruz8703]

Just found the page with this vid. That don’t in the intro got me in my feels 😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@TaraLand]

just learned I am not feeding correctly....THANK YOU!!!

[@squidy2498]

I have a 5 year old pleco and he hides in a skull in my fish tank

[@InsideTheStadium]

🤣😅🤣😅They're so personable, I love plecos ❤️

[@RiverLifeUS]

Another good one Jeffroz FishKeeping👍Do you rinse the canned green beans before feeding them to your fish?

[@Jeffro]

It’s not a bad idea to rinse them because they are encased in a salty water in the can so salt is not to good for them I sometimes rinse when I have time but I should always rinse

[@GoodVibes-ie7vx]

Morning wood 😁

[@Auditing.northern.N.Y.]

I let a lot of biofilm grow before I got my juvenile bristle nose. They won't take anything I add for food. Number 1 should be keeping some wood in a tank to add or replace when they clean off what they have.

[@guillermomadrigal8382]

"Morning Wood" they knew what they where doing!!! And im here for it!!!

[@andrewdee8435]

Northfin is a very messy food unless you have a bare bottom tank. Don't use it unless you are willing to do the water siphon more often. I will say most tabs are messy. Fresh veggies are best.

[@shesellsfish]

All great foods. I always like to rotate foods. I'm just never convinced that one food will give them everything they need.

[@Jeffro]

ShelbyRae Lane I agree I also believe that is helps them with digestion too

[@wabalaka1565]

I usually have 4-5 brands of food and mix some of them into 1 container never to worry about variety and you can re-seal the left over for the next mix in a month or 2 and not to worry about those 5 bag of food getting spoiled if you were to rotate feed them 5 brands of foods while keep them open all the times. The con is I spend a lot of money at once when the food all run out so I start mix different proportion so the food doesn't run out at the same time and I don't feel like I spend too much money on fish food 😂😂😂

[@robpulido1320]

Love your videos brother very informative

[@MakoyUnggoy]

They're going mad for those green beans like it's an illegal substance... This will be top of my shopping list next week!

[@seanyushi9096]

Do u have to cook the cucumber?

[@gabrielalexander3069]

Lol no, just raw cucumber

[@lmovalles]

I boil them for 20 minutes and the freeze them. This will make them not to float.

[@robertwilliams2720]

I give mine zucchini and cucumbers I went to this awesome mom and pop fish shop he told me he feeds all his plecostomus fresh veggies I never knew you could so I started to....so the cucumbers don't float just take a stainless steel fork and stick the veggies on it works for me all my fish nibble on it even my tiger barbs

[@Jeffro]

Yeah fish love the veggies

[@nanetterivera6612]

What is the best tank bottom for plecos? Substrate, gravel, I would love to put live plants in is also. Thnx

[@Jeffro]

I like bare bottom the best for plecos... but being they’re a bottom dwelling fish something smooth for them is best!!

[@stevezphone]

Great info, thanks!

[@Jeffro]

No problem how is it going

[@vector150]

LOL soilent green/soylent green I see what they did there

[@OLBII]

Do you steam or boil the veggies before putting them in the tank?

[@dennyclose6635]

Thanks for the info!!!

[@Jeffro]

Denny Close you’re welcome Denny

[@aquariumplantman]

Zucchini is my favourite choice for my plecos. Always a great vid from you Jeffro my man.🤙

[@Jeffro]

Pete Berlinski Thanks Pete Happy Birthday Bro!!!!!!!

[@hondagoal]

I think those French green beans would be messy in your tanks. There'll be un eaten bits of them floating and clogging filters.

[@Jeffro]

You don’t have to feed as much as I do I have tons of plecos in my aquariums

[@Nebuladust1018]

they cute cute especailly when they nom nom

[@davidramsay1055]

great video! Bug bites algae crisps hikari waffers grean beans spinach and cucumber is what mine gets he's definitely a happy guy 😆

[@heidealbre1518]

Thanks for the info😉👍

[@susanesposito5815]

I put some of that catfish sticks in my tank and they did not swim over to eat right away but no biggie. I get up this am and my tank is completely clouded. Little upet

[@supernatureboy13]

Thanks for great info

[@karebearsanimalhouse7195]

Just subscribed

[@HeidisHereAndThere]

I was given a pleco a few days ago. I have no idea how to care for it. I got some algae wafers, but hasn't even touched them. Put a green bean in there, but didn't eat it. How much should I feed ONE PLECO?? And can I buy frozen french cut beans; so they stay fresh?

[@Jeffro]

Do you know what kind of Pleco it is?

[@HeidisHereAndThere]

@@Jeffro Albino long fin dwarf ancistrus

[@rob93aquatics]

That's a nice lineup of food for your plecos 💪👍

[@Jeffro]

Thanks Brother good seeing you the other night...

[@ignaciodomenech3463]

Im starting out with two small common pleco and I’ve been wondering what else I could feed them

[@jimmyj.a-r.afishroom1290]

Great video whit good tip! My nr1 Pleco food is Repashy. All my fish love it!

[@Jeffro]

Jimmy Pedersen yep it’s a good one

[@honeybee3682]

Great video again Jeffroz 👍 loved it. Thank you

[@Jeffro]

Honeybee Axolotls_Aquatics no problem nice to see you honey bee

[@honeybee3682]

Jeffroz FishKeeping - I know keep missing your livestreams, dang this need to sleep 😴 and UK hrs 😄👍💕

[@Jeffro]

Honeybee Axolotls_Aquatics no worries Honey Bee 🐝

[@Les-OZZYTHEOSCAR]

Hi Jeff. Just discovered your channel. Do you think it would still work, to slice up the zucchini and freeze, together with the beans and just defrost as much as you need . Just wondering if freezing the zucchini might turn it to mush ?

[@Jeffro]

Freezing it works fine I have friend puts his in the freezer after turning them into fries

[@leo2o915]

Do I need to add wood don’t want one that will lower my ph but want to give them fiber

[@lmovalles]

Yes and no. Repashy has wood in case you can't add wood to the tank

[@callumt9682]

Can you use fresh green beans from the shop?

[@crevice5369]

yes

[@pockyklt7226]

I feed my pleco green beans (french cut) my pleco loves it, I do want it to eat a variety of things so this video has helped a lot in helping me decide what to get her. Plus I don’t really know how well I can keep up with getting green beans and being able to have my pleco eat them all before they go bad. Is it okay for me to freeze them?

[@Jeffro]

Yes freezing them is fine glad you enjoyed the video

[@miamarie4402]

If i only have one pleco how much should i feed him if i give him green beans or zucchini

[@Jeffro]

Always feed your fish enough that they can eat in five minutes and pull out what isn’t Eaton

[@Jeffro]

Few hours not five minutes

[@sharronmiller451]

My bristlenose love cucumbers!!!

[@Jeffro]

Same Sharon they go nuts over the

[@pipipipica180]

Hey Jeff, It's my first time here on your channel, and also with my first Bristlenose Pleco :) I just have question about veggies, how often should I use them, also how do you cut zucchini and cucumber before putting in tank?

[@crocodilelylejj]

you should feed veggies about once a week and use other stuff every day, do cut cucumbers and zucchini you just cut it into slices :)

[@chadsadventures]

Great 5

[@Jeffro]

FISH _OUT OF_WATER_AQUARIUMS thanks man

[@darrellbegg4323]

My rubber nose pleco swims none stop will not hide at all even in the dark

[@christinagordon2351]

I got a the bug bite before and I got a piece of Metal in the shape of the food.

[@Jeffro]

Very interesting !

[@thomasmckenny9759]

It looks like you have too much food in the tank. How much green beans can a pleco eat in a day?

[@Jeffro]

That depends on what that pleco can eat rule of thumb what they could eat in few hours then throw out the rest

[@1234cdsarver]

Cool thank you

[@Jeffro]

Cecil Sarver no problem

[@elindigeno1215]

I can't believe they actually eat the sticks. I just usually give them green beans

[@Jeffro]

Yep green beans are choice

[@cantreformthem]

PLECOS LOVE GREEN BEANSSSSSS

[@zoltan303stackin]

👍👍

[@zfrxsty6687]

Just lost one of my baby plecs I've had for 2 months I thought it could just survive off algae in tank feel awful😢

[@kenjiro2676]

Not a fan of the northfin kelp wafers, they pollute my water qucikly with all the little bits that come off. I might get the sera catfish chips and the bug bites sinking formula.

[@hannahlingenfelter735]

I have a question... Can you have more than one pleco in a tank?

[@Jeffro]

Hannah Banana yes

[@hannahlingenfelter735]

Ok thank you.

[@crevice5369]

what size tank is it?

[@HalfManHalfCichlid]

I am concerned that the veggies have too low a protein content for young and growing plecos. Comment?

[@Jeffro]

It’s my opinion that you are wrong! And the only reason that I have that opinion is because of years and years of healthy Plecos healthy reproduction and healthy long life

[@HalfManHalfCichlid]

@@Jeffro i am going to go with kelp as my veggie. Kelp has 6x the protein of zucchini.

[@CJBlack265]

💕👍

[@Jeffro]

How you doin CJ

[@sandrahamilton3982]

Do you have a book?

[@gibbons0798]

Will my mollies eat the cucumber

[@Jeffro]

Gibbons 07 most likely all of my live bearers always pick at all of the veggies that I feed in the tank

[@rythmjunky5292]

my Plecos won't touch bug bites,north fin or repashy morning wood.

[@cantreformthem]

PLECOS LOVE GREEN BEANSSSSSS AND NOT JUST FRENCH STYLED CUT

[@alec7937]

My plecos don’t touch repashy morning wood or cucumbers

[@crevice5369]

try del monte french cut green beans. just rinse them off and stick one or two stalks in the tank at night

[@crevice5369]

fresh cut *

[@keelynnkeen6693]

Try adding some garlic guard when you make the repashy gel, or soaking your veg in it! I marinate all my veggies in it, and my dwarf bristlenose goes NUTS for every veggie he’s tried!!!

[@DankTanks]

☝️✌️👌👌👌👌👌

[@Jeffro]

Thanks My Dank to the Tanks...
