I know this is old but, Walmart has a 4 pack of stainless kabob skewers for a couple dollars! There's a hook on the end, I tie a plastic string to it so I can pull it out of the tank. Easier than forks.
@@MichaelsFishRoom I can't find the link. I'm actually interested in the can opener, my old one went belly up and I've tried 2 others and not liked either :/
Mike I will tell you this is the first time I have guppies and the food you have indicated is the best. My guppies are healthy and with young in abundance. Thank you for such excellent videos.
Congratulations on your 20 k Subscribers! I only feed green beans. I would like to feed more stuff to them. Did you say 112 years ago? That's hilarious!
I did know that!! I used to have guinea pigs and learned that green peppers were the best way of getting them their daily vitamin C requirement!! Great videos - fun to watch and great info. Thx! 🐟
I live in SW Florida and our canals are full of Plecos. I have a mango tree and the fruit that hit the ground and bust open, I throw in the canal and the Pleco's love them!
My 2 placos the dinos yes they both have the same name love to pig out with my mama moustachios cory Dora's and the 4 statio baby's the dinos seem to love the 2 mamas and kids ,,so fun to watch the kids bugging the dions,, brockley peas and apples yesterday
p.s. I tie two long cable ties joined onto a stainless steel fork to put food into the tank, the end of the cable tie is attached to an alligator clip which I clip on to the top edge of the glass/lid. When the food is finished with I can leave the cable ties on the fork and wash ready for the next feed.
Have you ever tried feeding your Pleco's Corn on the cob (sweetcorn)? I was going to try some but thought that it would be wise to first get your views on the Sweet Corn! Loving your videos I never fail to learn something new by watching them... BIG BIG BIG THUMBS UP ALL DAY LONG 👍😷👍
Sitting here having breakfast which is coffee and toast. I feed all my Pleco's Algae wafers, fresh unblanched cucumber, zucchini, baby spinach leaves, fresh watermelon and normal green beans fresh from my mothers garden. I have a laugh at the different names people call the same foods in different parts of the world.
Im looking for the quick growing leafy surface plants? My fry Cichlids who used to hide in it, ended up also eating romain lettuce. No other generation again ate greens.
@@MichaelsFishRoom I am looking for quick growing aquarium plants, for their consumption. One generation of central American Cichlids used to devour a small leafy plant that only grew on the surface, but used to be banned in Canada
Word to the wise folks, some fruit is sprayed with a protective wax to make it shine/last longer. I wash all fruit with warm boiled water, using a soft brush then rinse with warm water. Peel if still in doubt. Strangest food eaten by my fish?..........ground up lean lamb, (cooked) my angelfish loved it.
You have gorgeous fish. I'm a beginner, but was hoping you could help. I have a Pleco in my two tanks. They are housed with only a betta in each tank. My female betta keeps eating the algae wafers I give them. What do I do ?!
Michael's Fish Room I prefer to support business like yours instead of Petco. If you get a darker Pleco that stays small please inform me I'll purchase right away. I was looking for a snowball or clown. The zebra are gorgeous but too expensive for me, as I'm a beginner and don't want to invest that much until I know what I'm doing better
Michael's Fish Room also thanks for the video. I tried the light trick. My male betta doesn't care for the wafer either way. My female ? Forget it you would think o starve her to death she sees it in the dark too and literally just stays on the bottom where the waters usually go now. I'm scared she's gonna overeat and get swim bladder so I'm gonna try the vegetables today and see if that works
Is just got a small pleco almost the size of a small goldfish but I can’t really tell if he’s eating or not, oh and I don’t really know if I can put him with other small fish like Molly’s guppy’s zebras, will he eat them ?
Salt doesn't evaporate out your tank ,,, is there a chance you had a salt build up which killed the long fin brisstlenose ? how has that tank been, trust all is well
My female brittlenose pleco loves cucumbers. I always boil mine a little bit just to get it soggy and heavy. Maybe I’ll try fresh next time. The watermelon sounds great, I’ll do that in the summer. My pleco doesn’t have bristles and is fairly small. I think she’s about 2 months old.
I feed my Super Reds squash and all manner of flake food and some frozen Blood worms and frozen brine shrimp. I haven't tried all the other things you listed except cucumbers and French cut beans but I didn't like the mess. I don't blanch either for the same reason. I don't even peel the squash. Good to make work for their food.😁
@@MichaelsFishRoom ha ha. I'm an idiot. The first time I read that I got that you peeled so you had less food for them. But I rarely have any thing left behind. And what little I have just adds to the mulm.🥒🥒🥒🍼
I've got a ten-year-old pleco he's about 2ft long in a 85 gallon tank,, I had no idea that he would eat fruit,, mine has been eating pellets and flake food he turns upside down and vacuums it all across the top of the tank
Lol I have the same type of can opener got it from an ex or stole it depending how you look at it 🤷🏾 but point is best can opener ever I want another one as a backup but can’t find it anywhere 😔
I really need help on this. I got recently a common Pleco, small guy, about 3-3.5 inches. I tried cucumber, I tried beans, he won't eat. It's been 3 days and idk if he's eating or not because my tank hasn't been getting any algae as well for him/her to graze on. Can you please help me with tips ?
@@MichaelsFishRoom I'll try it tonight, I've put a cucumber on a fork (saw the tip from one of your videos). I hope he eats it. Thanks though (how do I realise he did feed though?)
Hi Love your videos, I would like to ask you, what do you do about the snails in the aquarium? They multiply like crazy, I have a planted thank with brown placo's and shrimp, and the snails are running it for me. Thank you Good luck
I can go to my local co-op store and they sell pesticide free, non gmo, foods. Expensive? Yeah. Stupid? Probably. BUT I MUST MAKE THEM HAPPY. I love them all.
I had sweet corn when I was there 20 years ago, i don't know if it was Jersey corn, but it wasn't as good as Iowa corn. I mean there's a reason Iowa produces more corn than most countries do. We grow good corn.
Sorry to hear about your plecos! Always a fan of your videos. I'm semi-local, still in the learning stages after falling into guppy ownership. Seems like fishkeeping and lizardkeeping both encourage people to buy more veggies lol. Also I thought cucumber and peas help keep fish from bloating? Not sure.
Peas can help bloating in herbivorous and some omnivorous fish, but not carnivorous fish. Give a betta a pea and you could kill them. But goldfish love peas and guppies will eat just about whatever you give them. 😊
@@MichaelsFishRoom no, i think most can openers do. i found this out a couple years ago and it blew my mind that so many of us have been doing it wrong for so long.
Why is it that channels do better when they don't watch other TH-cam channels....oh man I watch everyone and then share out all the videos I can on my FB group...lol

what is your opinion on lettuce and feeding that to plecos? what are the risks of feeding non-organic foods to fish/plecos?
I’ve never done it, but I don’t think it would hurt. However there is little to no nutritional in lettuce. Non organic is fine.
Nice! i also starting to take care of pleco since yesterday. but do you clean the sponge filter? or i should not clean the sponge filter?
It has to be cleaned when it looses suction.
@@MichaelsFishRoom ah thank you! just squeeze it until no more brown water?

I keep my long fin bristle nose plecos in more than one tank just incase I loose one tank full.
