Hello. I'm pretty new to keeping plecos and this lil guys in our big community tank. I'm unsure if he's getting enough food. I've read the descriptions on how to tell and it seems to boil down 'is it skinny'. Sold to me as a Super Red Bristlenose Pleco from an individual.
Does my pleco look skinny/under fed? What's your favorite food for you pleco?
I've had a ton of these over the years, and I did have one that died of a wasting disease. It looked VERY thin, your looks like a gym bro by comparison.
They can also get fat! This one is not fat, I think it's good.
You'll eventually get a feel for how long it takes them to get through a pellet and as long as you have that drift wood and they're eating pellets, they're fine.
