     I had him about 3 weeks, and a couple days before he* died, I got some 
sinking pellets to feed occasionally.  How often should those be given?  Do 
they need pellets morning and night like other fish need flakes, as much as 
they'll eat right away?
     * Hm... he... I always assume these catfish and tetras and so on that I 
don't know how to sex are male.  What if Mr. Pleco was Ms. Pleco, or my 
built-like-a-pitbull Rafael catfish is a she?  I don't suppose it really 
matters, but I'd hate to be insulting them.
