I found in an article that Oto's like sprouts and they are included in the veg list for plecs but has anyone tried sprouts and how did they go?

i have given sprouts to plecs with reasonable success - but hubby banned them cos you get the smell of sprouts wafting around the room -which he hates.

I've tried sprouts in the tank once - and only the Royal and my L001 were interested. (I'd covered them in boiling water and let them soften for a few minutes before adding them.)

I like sprouts. :D

Just an update, found a feeding article the other day on scotcat, sprouts are fine for plecs. I guess its just whether they like them or not but I expect blanching them and making them a little softer would help. Ill try them soon lol

Tried defrosted frozen sprouts last night. The plecs like them and are eating them but the room stinks like cabbage:yes::D
