Starlight ancistrus

[Punkyfish]

Brought a gorgeous little starlight about a week ago. His still very small. The problem Is that he is very shy an altho his cleaning the tank he hasn't actually got up the courage to eat the wafers yet. What can I do ? I'm worried

It's the L182 if anyone Is interested

What size tank is he in? Has the tank been cycled? Can you post your ammonia, nitrite, nitrate? You might try feeding him some vegetables (lettuce, cucumber, zucchini).

Here's some links that may help:

His in a 68 litre an it's been established for about 6 months. All readings are good ammonia 0 nitrite 0 and nitrate is 20. The good news is he came out earlier an had a little munch on a wafer before a cory made him jump lol. He came back out though so his slowly learning that they're all a friendly bunch an there's nothing to b scared about. I think it's because the corys are so happy and swimming around everywhere an his not used to that as the tank he was in in the lfs he was alone.

I forgot to mention that he will b moved into a 300 litre tank in the next week
