i know they usually just suck stuff off of the glass…but what do i feed him b/c i know he needs his nutrients and stuff….i need help please!! Yetti needs you guys! (yes thts his name btw lol)
Feed him sinking algae wafers and/or sinking shrimp pellets, zucchini, spinach, lettuce, basically any green food.
And what kind of "sucker fish" do you have? Most Plecos grow over a foot long, and a Chinese Algae Eater will grow up to a foot long. And as CAE’s grow, they lose their algae-eating ability and attack fish instead.
E-mail me for any questions!

I don’t know which particular suckerfish you are referring to, but you can try getting some of those sinking algae wafers. When I had plecos, they liked them very much.

Plecos and otos both need to be supplemented because there usually isn’t enough algae to suffice.
I recommend sliced zucchini, algae wafers, or well rinsed, canned sliced green beans. Virtually all omnivorous fish love the beans.
Couldn’t you just have named it Bigfoot?

Just feed him an algae wafer that sinks to the bottom and he should be fine.
