How is the L200 doing now? Still showing signs of improvement? He's doing great now, has a full belly and the eyes look a lot better. He is still very shy and hides in a cave during the day, when I switch to the night light he comes out if I leave the room or I'm not paying attention watching tv ...

That was my thinking Georgie, I was afraid the ph difference would be harmful so I drip acclimated. However, now that yall have said something about the ammonia I can see why it would be the lesser of two evils

Andy,

Thanks for the info, I'll definitely try that next time.

The fish were in the bag for approx 16hrs I'm guessing. The seller did put 4 pieces of seeded filter media in the bag. I'm not sure exactly how helpful it was though.

another tank?! I have to stop listening now %-( lol I really want it though, and the price is awesome which makes it that much harder to say no. I have a 30gal tall hex but it would be cramped very quickly. My only other option is to put it in my 55 but I think its already getting crowded with: 10x ...

He's gonna make it, the past two nights he has devoured the zuchinni and there's bright green poo everywhere lol. Now it's just matter of time until hopefully he starts coming out during the day with the lights on. I also noticed my LFA has a blue phantom for $30 and I'm soooooooooo tempted but I ...

I am finally seeing some poop now, it is mostly light green like the zucchini. There are just a few hints of brown from the wood im assuming. I did notice on one piece there was a small whitish segment, but there was a very very light green hint to it.

We are definitely making progress now! I got a good look at the eyes last night and they are looking a lot better. Still not 100% better but getting close. He has become a lot more active at night as well. I even removed the cover from the tank last night and he still came out and swam around. I ...

oh so you cut it long ways? last night I just cut an end off so it was a "disk" and I did scrape half the skin off

I'll cut 2 strips tonight one with skin an one without

also, can you give me an idea about how much he should be eating once healthy and fully acclimated? he's 3.5-4in

good news! he did take a very small bite and just a tiny bit of grazing on the zucchini!! it wasn't much of anything but he is eating something. I put it in raw last night, should I try one blanched and one raw tonight? i really appreciate the offer Georgie, but i can order the clips and garlic no ...

I just strapped a piece of zucchini and a piece of sweet potatoe to a couple rocks and spread them out amung the spots I've seen him frequent most. I also put one of the algae wafers by itself. I didn't get a chance to go to the store for the garlic, if I can't find it ill have to order it off ...

I knew they needed veggies mostly, I was just trying different things to get him to eat something. Im going to the store tonight to get zucci and probably a sweet potato. Ill do exactly what you said and stick the wafers the seller suggested in the food. He does have a cave to hide in where noone ...

Barbie, His eyes might be slightly better, but they are definitely still sunk in. I haven't had another look at his belly because right now he is very shy and only comes out at night when it's near pitch black. I do have another tank with a small piece of driftwood for a bristlenose pleco, he's very ...
