I have a 14 inch pleco and am unsure whether I am feeding him enough on a daily basis. I currently give him mixture of sinking pellets and fresh zucchini on occasion. Any advice would be appreciated. Thanks

should be fine. normaly they will eat what ever they can find. (aglae, extra food etc)
but its great that you are feeding him,  :)

I also have a large pleco and she does require her "own" food just because of her size.  Sounds like yours is being well attended to. Mine also loves zucchini and shrimp pellets.

Yepp. its only REALLY nessary to feed them when they are smaller, to help grow big and strong :p even tho they are great scavengers. but as they get older they are quite independent. But it doesnt hurt to feed them .
