Red whip tail cat..

...correct me if I name it wrongly. btw, I bought one from C328 located near the betta tank rack.

Problem is. I put it in my 2 feet tank and it does not seem to be eating. I was hoping that it will clean up some algae on the glass. :D

I just want to know what is their diet ?

Thank in advance.

Red Lizard cat...

Yeah! That is the one. What's the diet ?

[kirby74]

Hikari Algae wafers , slice potato..

Thanks Kirby. I am always on the look out for good algae eater that stays small due to my set up. If you say that this beast takes algae wafer, I am safe to assume it takes green algae as well and won't starve to death yet... if I throw in algae wafer at the initial stage to give it a head start..

I feed sinking pellets. they take them fairly easily. currently i have 7 without casualty. i kept them as cleaners to finish uneaten food :)

Fish died. celticfish is correct. They need clear open or even sandy spot to thrive. I think fish die of stress from lack of resting place.

Also observed that they were more carnivorous in diet.
Hardly touched algae and such.

imo..I know why...It happens if the tank is too grassy without clear area for them. Furthermore, my 2 feet never do water change.. But it should not be a problem because my red ruby is ok..
