Most plecos are omnivoures and require a variety of food sources. Some plecos eat wood as their primary food source. Almost all will eat some wood. We recommend that all tanks with plecos have at least one peice of driftwood. This is the type of driftwood/bogwood that we feed our plecos. Due to the size and weight of these, when shipped without fish via Flat Rate Shipping, they are sent via USPS Parcel Post instead of Priority Mail.
