| So Far all I have tried to feed my b/n's is Zucchini and as for that they eat from the insides to the out and leave the skin alone. They eat Algea wafers and anything else I drop in there. |

| My Bristlenose plecs seem to be happy eating flakes at the moment, maybe it's time I tried something from the veggie list and give them a treat Do Bristlenose eat other fish babies because I seem to have a few babies from other tank mates appearing now? |

| Mine likes zuchini and algae wafers, they sometimes nibble on a shrimp pellet and they will Not touch cucumber. I can't see why they don't like the cucumber cause it looks similar to the zuchini. Fussy little plecs, aren't they  |
