Does L95 eat wood?

Post by soltarii007 »

Hi guys,

Do I need to place wood in my tank for L95? Do they eat wood like panaques do?

I don't know any evidence that suggests that they do, but a lot of people keeping plecs put wood in just in case because it couldn't hurt.

No they don't eat wood, but its very good for hiding places etc. They do need places to hide. Mine are always hanging on/under the wood.
