So I added another algae eater, a clown pleco about five days ago and I still have not seen him leave his cave. I can see him in there. I drop an alage tab in every night and there is more than enough cleaning to be done in the tank food wise for him. And I added a zucchini slice the other night. The only ones eating it are my cna and rainbow shark. Probably the Cory and flag tail porthole too. Should I be concerned? Are they afraid of light?? Or is he just still getting settled in?
 
Clown pleco's don't eat algae, they eat wood, will actually die w/out it in their diet. They are naturally nocturnal, typically stay out of sight all day long.
