Veggies for clowns
I have 4 clowns and 3 dojo and a pleco in my tank wondering what veggies to feed them and should they be cooked or raw? I know plecos will sometimes eat zucchini and clowns will eat broccoli and cauliflower I think. But again wondering if raw or cooked and what other veggies. Or maybe even fruit? never heard of fruit being fish food just wondering.

Hello All, my first time here ...
I just wanted to let you know that my 2 clown loaches go nuts for watermelon. I enjoyed watching them attack it with gusto, and then return to their cave to peek out waiting for the next treat.

I tried the watermelon and NO one in the tank ate any of it. I have had my clowns and dojos for over a year and my pleco for over 7 and have never fed them any fresh veggies or fruit. Any advice on how to intice them to eat new foods? They have only been fed flakes and sometimes frozen food to this point.

Good afternoon,
I feed my loaches and plecs the following:
Raw patato (peeled so the skin doesnt mess the tank)
Melon
Kewi fruit (again peeled or cut in quarters)
sweetcorn (raw and on the cob or just out of a tin)
cucumber
courgette
lettuce (raw and attatched to something)
I hope this helps, loaches will eat most fruits. I tend to find when introducing new foods, it helps if you squish a small bit into pieces, once they get the idea it's food they should attatck the larger piece
