Boesemani Rainbowfish

I'm happy with him. He does not eat any algae from the glass or plants, lives off wafers. But still very cool to have around.

Hehe. That's because he's a carnivore. QAs are Hypancistrus spp.. These are primarily carnivorous Loricariids. I find the same with my QA. She (he) contributes nothing to the algae-eating cause...

Really, I thought they were more of omnivores. Thats good to know. What meaty food would he appreciate.

I feel so dumb now, Grumpy thanks you.

That's ok. They are technically omnivores, but they're some of the most carnivorous of the Loricariids. They should have some amount of meat in their diet. Usually, sinking shrimp wafers are a good choice. Hikari makes a good product called "Sinking Wafers for Catfish, Loaches and Bottom Feeders" that I use.
