They are Bristlenose Plecos, so they are mainly vegiterian.

What kind of plecos? For algae eaters, algae wafers are great, if it is more of a carnivorous species, larger size spectrum works well.

Get some algae wafers, or tie a small rock to a pice of zucchini. Plecos go NUTS over them. Other fish will eat at it too. And a word of warning on the algae wafers..........there is a LOT of food packed into those things. I dropped 7 in a tank with 24 litle BN plecos and some other fry. The tank looked like a dirt bomb went off in it later that night
. Had to do an immediate 50% WC, and another 2 days later. So start with small amounts until you get a good gauge on what they will consume.

I need to get foods to float to the bottom to feed my Plecos. How would I sink them? Any help would be appreciated.
