What type of wood should i get for my pleco fish2007-11-24 23:42:38

Where would i buy the wood?

Answers:

Driftwood is great for pleco's. I agree you should only purchase it at a pet store. Pleco's are algae eaters, but they also munch on the wood and bacteria and algae that grows on the driftwood. You will also have to feed them alae wafers, or shimp pellets. I even feed mine Zuchinni, cucumbers, lettece. He loves it. I always feed him right after i turn out the lights for the night. They are nocturnal. Even though you may see them out and about in the day. But at night is when they are mostly active. If you cant find a LFS that you can purchase the wood at, i would try to buy it online. Here is a site that you can purchase it at.http://www.thatpetplace.com/products/kw/.

Anything for your aquarium should be bought at a pet store. They know what can and cannot be used in the tank.

Not sure what I get about wood for your pleco..I've had a beautiful Plecostomus, or "Pleco" for years and no wood is necessary. They are algae eaters and will help clean the tank. Driftwood is a cool tank decoration but not needed.

I am glad to see that you are aware that plecos need some wood fiber in their diet. Most people are ignorant of that fact. Plecos are much healthier and their digestive systems work much better with wood in the tank to graze on.
