i have a 30 gal with a rainbow shark and pleco. both of them seem not to be interested in the waffers so i stoped putting them in the tank. first of all i had a starvation accident with my first pleco and now i'm worried because it seems i only see him racing across the tank looking for algae. he won't feed on the bottom where i see algae building up and i think it's because of the smaller rocks. i look at it this way though he has lasted longer than my first one so he is getting his food from somewhere.
the rainbow i do understand they eat off the bottom but will only come out when the lights are off and been then i really don't see him because i'm in bed. i see other tanks with the shark out with lights on. why won't my shark do that?
oh i do know there night owls but still i see other tanks with the shark out with lights on the pleco will stay out with the lights on for a bit but then he and the shark will go into the cave the shark quicker than the pleco. do i need to make this more of a lively tank?
