I have not checked the water chemistry, but it is clean, not debris,
and nearly odorless. I tried flakes, algae waffers, and a even
lettuce. He is always sucking or stuck to walls or the raiser tube. Is
he really eating algae even If I don't see them? It Seems healthy
since he moves around fast, but I am quite concerned....

Any clue?


....on top of Tynk's advice

Try feeding just after "lights out"... Most pleco's are more active at
twilight.

Also, does it have driftwood to rasp on? Depending upon the species,
wood can range from important to _extremely_ important to their health and
diet.
