I had a goldfish and 2 plecos in an aquarium and the goldfish died the other day. My mom mentioned that the plecos might not have enough to eat now that the goldfish wasn't making the aquarioum dirty. I've always fed them 1/2 an algae wafer every night. Should I give them a whole wafer, or should I give them to someone I know who has an aquarium? I just don't want them to starve to death.

Or should I just get another fish, and what kind would be best. I don't really want more fish, as I don't like hving an aquarium, but the other fish are still going to be around for awhile and I'd like a pretty fish to go in it.

Should I just continue feeding 1/2 wafer a day (and I do feed them at night)? I've only ever seen the smaller one eat the wafer and the other one is twice as big. Or should I give them a whole one or introduce other food, such as a cucumber?

I believe the fish died from inhaling too much air while eating. I searched around the fish section a little and that's really all I can figure. I'm going to just keep the plecos without getting any other fish but I had another question.
If I feed them veggies (just to change their diet) what can I give them and how much each day? I don't know if their size makes a difference. The little one is 3-4 inches and the larger one is probably 7-10 inches. I've only ever seen the smaller one eat the wafers, however.
