I bought some of these Multi Wafers and put some in for my L229 and L030s if they'll eat them. They've not been touched all night and all day.
How long can they be left in tank?
Thanks

Tetra Pleco Multi wafers.

Probably about as long as they've been in now. I wouldn't keep them in longer than about a day & even that's stretching it a bit. If they haven't eaten it by now I don't think they'll take it. Better to remove it & replace it with a new one if you'd like to keep one in the tank.
i tend to agree. Maybe a tip, feed them at lights out and in the morning remove them if uneaten. I find it is trial and error with different pellets from different makers for different plecs. cheers jk :thumbup:
I have feed Hikari for many years and tried the new tetra ones a few weeks ago...The fish ate them no problem...Sometimes I find that fish take a while to get used to a new food source.
I tried them on my plecos but most of them didnt touch them either.
I think they have been too spoiled on the Hikari.

I bought the King British Algae Wafers and none of the fish touch them.
I bought them when i bought George (L229) but he seems happy munching on the wood and cucumber i give him. I bought the Multi Wafers to give him something different to try.
Think it just a case of keep an eye on him.

My L128's have never been fussed on vegs but I keep on trying. The eat hikari algae and flora veg flake.
I put some prawns in last night for the L030s and L201 and George started munching on 1 as if it was about go off or something. Didn't touch the cucumber i put in for him.
You won't have much luck getting them to eat veggies if fed with meatier foods or even commercial foods. I've found even herbivores will preferentially eat meatier foods over veggies. I think its a survival mechanism as meatier foods have more bang-for-your-buck in terms of calorie density, meaning they get more calories by eating less food.
