Can anyone tell me what is a food favorite for the inspector?

Google is your 2nd best friend right after the Cat-eLog. Google search returned this, http://www.tropicalresources.net/phpBB2 ... s_L201.php, that talks about them being carnivores and eating mostly insect larva , shrimp and worms and should be supplemented with dry food to ensure balance.

Hi.

The description of Hypancistrus inspector included a mention of quantities of seed matter being found in the gut.

It was proposed that this fish was "at least partially granivorous".

I must agree with this, as I feed my Hypancistrus pumpkin seeds, and they love them.

I also feed: cockle, bloodworm, whiteworm, mysis, krill, hikari algae wafers, colorbits and fava beans.

They really seem to enjoy this varied diet.

You may also be interested to note that in this post it is mentioned that H. inspector could be L102 rather than L201.
