	Serving Mashed Peas
rasboramary Big Fish Posts: 431 Kudos: 192 Votes: 4 Registered: 12-Mar-2004	Would someone please enlighten me as to how to serve mashed peas to a constipated Pleco? What kind of peas do you use? How do you prepare them? How can you get them to the Pleco if he is not moving toward the food being fed to him? Thank you.

They sink very effectively, so just turn the filter down, and drop them right near him.
