My Plecos all come swimming to the feeding area when I float flakes
for my other fish. One Pleco learned to swim on it's back to eath the
floating flakes. I don't supplement with anything special and I have
8 in 4 tanks. I have lost 3 in the last 9 to 12 months. Those
remaining appear healthy. They are competing with Siamese Algae
Eaters for algae and flakes.

I've got a 2" big clown Pleco in a 15 Gal tank. When I first got him, there
was "Salad" over everything, but now he's cleaned it all up, and there's
almost no algae left. I am supplementing his diet with a single algae wafer
weekly.

Should I be giving him more? Is there anything I can do to encourage algae
growth in the tank?
