Suvatti like palembangs and congos really benefit from having over hang caves and cover to hide under...
So if you get a chance, maybe create some driftwood caves and add some anubias for extra shade, then he / she may feel more comfortable to eat...
There's a good bit of driftwood to hide under, but I'll try to create a cave. Once the frogbit multiples it should help. I'm working on getting some fern.
Admittedly I wasnt fully prepared when I ordered it.
All good, maybe i didnt see it in later photos...
But in my past experience, my old palembangs and congo all loved hanging out in and around cave like dwellings over burying themselves...
Maybe i had weird puffers in that regard but that was my experience at least![]()
