i took him out and kept him in his own tank. i fed him blood worms like that for a week and then tried him back in the origanal tank and that was it! he was off and is feedin on cucumber etc now.

thanx for the help people. the little fella is eatin like a trooper! hes only small but is boss of my tank. the sailfin is 7 inches long compared to his puny 2 inch body size but he has no worries about chasin my sailfin back to his end of the tank! ta peeps

i have bought a small golden nugget plec. he very rarelly eats and hasnt got the round belly my sailfin has. i have tried him on frozen bloodworms but no success. there is drift wood and plenty of hiding places in the tank. HELP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

it is simalart to that but without the light coloured polkadots. they are more darkish grey than the white. he was £85 from my local aquarium and is now 14 inches long

i have a plec that was sold to me as a polcadot lyretail pleco. he is jet black with lightish grey spots all over, has a a huge lyretail and has heavy armour plating. i cant find a photo of him any where and he is very shy so its hard to get a photo myself. any help would be greatly appreciated. ty
