I stick a spoon through it. Well thats when I am feeding my Bn vegies that usually float. Appart from that I don't know. I made cubes of pea and blood worm once and set it with a little agar and that sunk.

I find a little zapping in the microwave makes most veggies sink for me... alternatively I just use a seaveggie clip to hold 'em down there...

Yeah i boil veggie for 3-5mins then it sinks but i need to find a way to make a meaty type of dish for bigger plecos, so they can graze on it when it sinks.

I drop prawns/muscles in that sink nicely but the Jardini and Salmon take it all up in seconds.

Mmm maybe i should just chop up a big piece of deboned fish that the salmon/jardini cant swallow and they can graze on that for their protein needs.

I guess anything that i try to make in mass will need to be freezed up and dropping it in would float anyway.

Lol, so this morning I figured I'd see what I could find on the web - this is an excellent thread on food for Pleco's:

http://www.plecofanatics.com/forum/showthread.php?t=12731

Doesn't really cover much on the way of meaty foods for them though - personally, I'd be inclined to cut thin slices of fish, and wrap them round a rock (like smoked salmon thin) and pop that on the bottom if I wanted to feed them fish - that works really well with the nori, and lets my BN's get it instead of the guppies tearing it into pieces...
