Feeding tips for L200

Post by Tom2600 »

I got a nice new L200 last Friday. Its settled ok into my tank and is becoming more active but I haven't seen it feed yet. I've put in courgette, melon and some dried seaweed so far. Does anyone have one and if so how do you feed and with what please? Thanks

I didn't see my first L200 eat for a few months, i knew it was eating but just never saw it. The second on that i got went straight to food but it was from a person i knewand not from the store. Just make sure you keep and eye on its belly. You can also try the garlic thing to encouage feeding.
