I've given him bloodworms and I think he ate them, there was a lot of movement in his rock after I fed them to him. Checked him today, either there was a lot of poop or old bloodworms he didn't eat, wasn't sure, but suspecting poop which I take to mean he ate. However, he still ain't coming...

Well, he ain't created waste yet, so am hoping for it at the moment lolol! I am eventually hoping to upgrade tank size, to make them all comfortable. I got the Columbian Plec following advise of LFS, due to him only growing to 3" :)

Phoned the store, they feed him frozen blood worms, so going to try putting some inside his hiding place for him. He looks normal when I lift the rock up and checked him. Nowhere I suppose of telling if he eats the bloodworms, but can try! Fingers crossed x

Sorry... Got a total of 10 fish, including the Plec... All fish healthy and doing really well, tested water levels and everything fine and as it should be. It has only been four days, but just worried he doesn't appear to be eating or if he is, he ain't eating the food I leave him.

Maybe I've wrote the litres wrong, but it's stocked correctly, I've checked and it looks empty still.... I ain't got the fish in vast numbers by the way... I only put what fish I had, not how many!!!!!!!!!!

I put bloodworms in as a treat, but all the other fish ate them and not sure how I would get some down to the bottom and left for the Plec. Tank matured and stocking levels right for it's size, can't get anymore fish, just got the right amount.

Hello, I've just bought a Columbian Zebra Plec L129, he doesn't come out of his hiding place, he doesn't appear to eat anything I leave him. Fourth day of having him today. I've got a 48 Litre tank, no real plants and got Guppies, Danios, Tetra and a Shrimp. I've tried Algae Wafers and last...

Thanks, will do :)

Didn't seed tank with anything either by the way.

Testing water with 4 separate test kits. One for ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and pH. Water into test tube, drops of liquid per instructions, shake wait and check lol. Did everything precisely, but will keep checking.

Thanks... Ive only had tank for 6 days and fish for 3 days... So was surprised at results. Take it this is normal? Does it mean my tank cycling well? Thanks for replying :)

Water murky as thought it was new tank and that's what happened. Tank not fishless cycled (following advice of LFS). Readings: Ammonia 0mg/l Nitrite 0mg/l Nitrate 25mg/l pH 7 Been to two other aquarium shops today, and all the zebra danios look same as mine, so it was just me panicking over...

Manchester ere... Lovely weather up north :)

Can anyone help?

Hello, Got 48Litre Tank (10/12 Gallons), it's new and the fish are new. Water started becoming clearer today and less murky. But I've noticed the Zebra Danio fins (and parts of their body), look green, as if it is Algae??? Is this possible? Can it kill them? Is there anything I should do...
