How to feed the pleco with other fish?

[xasuma]

I have a small pleco , about 2 inch . and when i try to feed him, the kois will just try and eat the food, and the other fish too, so the pleco wont go near it cuz its pretty small fish.

:22:

Kois?..........Feed the pleco at night with the lights out.What type plec is it ?
Oh my,never mind the koi question.You mean koi as in koi carp.I looked up your profile,you have some very serious issues that need worked out.Have you researched koi?They are a fish that has the potential to reach 3-4 ft long and weigh over 30lbs.Lets talk so we can resolve this serious problem.

lol!
yea yea i know no worry i know.
the koi's are pretty small, i just got a 75 g tank.
and by the time they grow i ll do something about it anyways,
and the pleco its just the regular one.

hopefully i can put them in a pond sometime :D

Thats good news.If your taking good care of them they grow 6" a year.They will need a pond in 2 yrs.

its any different if i have different types of pleco?
cuz they are pretty small, will they still eat zuchinni even that small?

and after i set up the 75 g i just got..
how long do i wait until i can put the pleco in?
i mean for them to have enough food?

they should eat it at any size, if they like it. Some plecos are pickier than others.

Your second question...not sure what you mean. You seem to know that they need to be fed, not just left to eat the algea growing in the tank, or are you asking how long until the tank has enough algea for them?

if thats the case, it wont. They still need food aside from the algea.

oh i see, i was wondering if maybe eventually i could just have them eat the algae .
But i got it now thumbs2:
Thanks for the answers:22:
