i have brought 2 pcs of L190 about 3-4 inch back around jan this yr and have been wondering about some question. Hope to learn more about them.

I have place driftwood for them to eat and currently been feeding them cucumber and they like it alot. I would like to feed them other veg but i am not sure which one to try. I have try sweet potatos and potato but they don't seem to like them. i try putting the potatos in hot water to soften them but they seldom eat it. Would like to know which common veg we can get in ntuc to feed to them?

would also like to know if it's ok for them to eat mp? cos i am housing them with my aro and sometimes leftover mp sink to the bottom and one of the L190 seem to like to munch on it alot while the other one i haven't seen it eating them. would like to know if it will have any side effect on it on the long run?

and also how big will they get? they are in a 5x2x2 with a aro and 3 small it's. Would also like to know what other L's number can be keep with them? was thinking of getting some more other L's number to keep with them. Best if they are also eat the same food as L190 so that it will be easy for me to feed them.

Veges for panaques: Zucchini, carrots, sweet potato, cabbage, potato, leafy plants.

Panaques introduced to meat diet, example MP are prone to bloated stomach. Though there are known hobbyist who have no problems with prior.

190 can go up to 15" ... but would usually take more than 20 years to reach 15" from 3-4" ...

eh by the way what the common name for Zucchini? i can't seem to find them in NTUC. and i have try sweet potato but they don't seem to like it... they only eat the cucumber when i put this 2 together.

and also what other L's number are good to keep together with them? i would like to get 1-2 more other L's to keep in the tank. Best is they also eat what i feed the L190.

Zucchini is the so called Jap cucumber. It is the skinnier and more ex cucumber you find in NTUC. My fav vege is the home brand kai lan. Cheap and good. I think they have increased the price to 80 cents per pack. Do not pick chai xin. They tend to melt in water

:rolleyes: info' from where ? I thot last time When I first started you told me a lot of factors govern their growth rate ! eg :
- Size of tank - coz' they will regulate their growth according to their environment.
- availability and type of food.
- Water parameter/ quality
- boiloading of tank etc
and alot more which I can't remember, maybe you should throw more lights ! :D

Zuchinni is known as Courgette in the UK. It is really easy to grow from seed if you cant get in your land. Happy to post some seeds to any of you if you like?
