Chocolate Zebra Plecostomus

The Chocolate Zebra Pleco live in a wide variety of water types and in the wild but are most commonly found in areas of flowing water, with quite a bit of rock cover. They are omnivores of a sort, eating a lot of algal matter, some wood and a good amount of invertebrates. This wild diet and foraging style lend itself to easy feeding. They should get a mix of different invertebrate-based foods and some algae-based foods. They do very well in house with Nutramar's Freshwater Algae and Color Boost Shots which can be stuck to the glass or the rocks to allow the Plecos to graze on them. This offers the fish a very complete diet for its profile, but here they also get frozen bloodworm, tubifex, and spirulina cubes, all of which are greedily consumed.
