Yes they do, in addition to algae and fish food that had fallen to the bottom, they also like raw zucchini, both the meaty part and the skin, and will munch on other veggies that you feed your fish.

∙ 12y agoNo, plecos will not eat the regular flake fish food. They are happy just eating the algae in your tank, but if you really love them, you can buy them algae wafers or broccoli, cucumber, lettuce (anything like that works).

Does janitor fish eat little fish?
The term "janitor fish" can be applied to any fish with an underslung suckermouth, including Plecos, Chinese Algae Eaters and Siamese Algae Eaters. And none of them perform any kind of "janitor" duty, Plecos in particular are HUGE waste producers, a happy Pleco is a pooping Pleco, and are actually quite the opposite of any kind of "janitor"!! Nothing eats fish poop.

Can janitor fish and a fighting fish be in one aquarium?
First: a "janitor fish" is what Americans call a pleco. Second: yes, you can keep a Betta (fighting fish) and a pleco (janitor fish) in the same aquarium. Plecos are only aggressive to other plecos, so your pleco won't eat the betta. The two fish live in different parts of the aquarium--plecos at the bottom like most catfishes, bettas at the top because they're airbreathers. A betta has the common sense not to mess with a fish as big as a pleco--and it wouldn't matter anyway because plecos are armored fishes. Plus, bettas love to eat snails so they are a good addition to your tank maintenance team. Now! This is the problem: Plecostomus catfishes get huge--if your fish isn't a foot long two years after you get it, you're not feeding it enough. (Plecos eat things like zucchini pieces that you weight down so they sink.) It is a fish that needs AT LEAST a 55-gallon tank to live and be happy. If you've got a small tank like a 10 or a 20 gallon (40 or 80 litres) I would get either Ancistrus catfish (like plecos but much smaller), Corydoras catfish or upside-down catfish.
