Does he have a cave he typically hangs out in? At night put it near that.

drop in some cucumber or potatoe or zucchinni, it will eat this and just make sure it sinks. rinse the potatoes thoroughly, i slice them and rinse-reduces starch

nope. i use potatoe as it sinks, but you can use anything that floats. i literally just wash a potato slice it up, rinse it thoroughly and put them in the tank near any hides etc. i take them out after about an hour so it doesnt foul the water, but i dont usually have any left to take out ;)

good good, they prefer the veg over tablet in my opinion. i still supply protein though, caus all plecs need it. maybe some bloodworms or prawn. i just use catfish pellets
