planted125 Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 Hi Long story short my little 3 year old dumped her plate of mac and cheese into my tank of baby bristlenose and they seem to have all been munching down on it. Not sure when she did it but now i am cleaning it out. Just wondering if i should be worried about their little cheese and starch snack.

Bob The biggest concern, in my opinion, would be any perhaps random chemicals (cheese preservatives, trace soap etc). However, I would imagine that this would show up quickly, and if your bristles are munching down, I think thats a good sign. Shouldn't be anything to worry about. Though the cheese may give them indigestion. Edited March 27, 2011 by Iceturf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JORG Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 hmmmm I wonder if pleco's will munch down on regular pasta without the cheese Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XodoK Posted March 27, 2011 Report Share Posted March 27, 2011 I wouldnt think pleco's are designed to assimilate pasta, humans can barely do it without getting plugged up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
punman Posted March 28, 2011 Report Share Posted March 28, 2011 Speaking of pasta, do you know how to gauge a good Italian restaurant? By its "pasta" performance!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
