Behaviours of L134

[maffia_2010]

Bringing up this thread again,

got 3xL134 from a fellow hobbist, 1st day keep sticking to the glass tank, nw its the 4th day..behaving normally like hiding in the caves and comes out at night.

But my concern is i believe they are not eating well. 1st and 2nd day , did not feed anyting. 3rd day tried small sinking pellet, but remain intact.

Bought alage waffer and fed them yest night...saw them go and chew a lil..but cant really c hw much they ate as it was dark.
Today i noticed da tank bottom was quite dirty. cant be their sh*t so i assume its da waffer. btw i only fed 1 waffer.

its a 2 feet tank running on OHF. intend to put them into my 5 feet tank once they are lil bigger(3 inches nw).
Only recently got posioned by plecos...so quite a noob here. appericate any advises from fellow hobbist.

TIA

mafia_2010,

I think no problem. monitor closely. like what mr. akoh said, they are stressed.

L134 eat everything. I was a noob and only fed them with green algae wafer for years, which I cannot count now. Edmundo was acute to point out to me - they need some meat !!

Another advice by akoh which i always heed. Feed on alternate days. Make them beg for more. Also, they tend to finish up everything if you feed them on alternate days. Water cleaner. No residue. No PO4 spike ! haha..

Hope this help.

No worries!
