A pleco is a species of catfish which can grow up to 18 inches long. It is a bottom dweller that eats some algae, but would prefer anything else it can find. You can feed it slices of cucumber, lettuce, other leafy green vegetables, and/or algae wafers from the store. It may take it a little time to recognize the vegetables as food, but it will love them! You can make them easier to eat by putting them in a bowl with a little bit of water (enough to cover them) and microwaving for 15-20 seconds. Then cool them down (rinse under cold water) and put them in the tank. Sometimes you have to tie them or clip them to something heavy to make them sink.
