| my lfs owner is ordering me a random "fancy" pleco this week, said something about a green phantom. i assume he means l200 h does kinda know his stuff. will they eat algae or will they not touch it and go right for the vegies? | |

| It is probably the l200 as you say. It will eat algae but can't be sustained on algae alone. It will still require vegies, pellets, driftwood, etc... to get a balanced diet. | |

| ok thats what i wanted to know. i dont expect any of my plecs to stay alive on just algae alone, but i do like them to keep it under control at least. | |

| Give it some time....It may help to ask the people you got it from what they were feeding it....It may just be used to one food and may take time to adjust. | |
