smm333 Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I got a baby yellow bristle nose pleco! Tomorrow I am going to pick up some repashy morning wood. There is a piece of cholla wood in the tank. Is there any certain type of wood that is best for a pleco? I want to make sure he / she is happy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSwissAquarist Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Any wood from an aquarium store works fine. Nice pleco! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Milliardo Peacecraft Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 I think you would do just fine with either rhe cholla wood or the Repashy food, or both, for your plecos. I've used cholla wood and just standard drift wood for my plecos and they have always done just fine. Between the 2, I have seen them hanging out on the cholla wood a bit more, but I think since it's a little softer and more porus it grows more algee/biofilm on its surface that they like to eat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good to know about the biofilm on cholla. I have 2 pieces in the tank and it's been in there for quite awhile.

I want to have more than 1 type in mind since I don't know what the store will have! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
