Well my little clown pleco is eating wood......
lots and lots of wood, he seems to be permantly affixed to the bog wood I stuck in the tank(not really he move around on it, but you get the idea). For the past two days i have introduced a piece of zuccini and a mango to the tank. Since he is PETRAFIED of light its hard to tell if he chewingon them since i have to go in and check on it in the middle of the night. I haven't seen any noticble marks on the fruits and veggies I stick in there and I'm afraid hes only eating the wood.

1.)Is that okay?
2.)How long can i leave the fruits and veggies i put in the tank?
3.)How often should I put in a fuit or veggie in the tank?
4.)Should i give him algae pellets? if so how often?

He loves his stick, I mean LOVES it. He has claimed it at his teratory and chases any fish that come within his space its hilarious (him being afraid of light and all) he chases the fish off and BOLTS back to the comfort of his stick.
