I just got a small plecostomus for my paludarium. I have a few quick questions. I read they need these algae wafers for feeding. I don't have any other fish so normal gold fish flakes would sink to the bottom for him. So in this case is goldfish food okay to feed my pleco?
If I do have to use algae wafers I have another question, can they act as a fertilizer for my live plants? Seems like they would. Do they fog the water bad?
Lastly, is there any way to keep this guy from growing so he doesn't outgrow my setup? I have a 40 gallon tank, but only a few inches of water in it. Hes only 2.5-3 inches right now.
