Food for L25?

[Fishes33]

My fish are getting thin, and it is not eating any massivores and sinking pellets.

Should I start dropping in bloodworms???

or any other food that you would recommend???

My L-114 & L-600 (same family) love NLS Spectrum Thera A,and I also tried Massivore and they wanted nothing to do with it!

Give it a shot! GL

First you need to identify why it isn't feeding? Is it new? Is it being outcompeted? Illness or water quality related? Then try to fix it.

Try some prawn/shrimp or different pellet/wafer brands. Once you are confident it is reliably feeding on something then you can try switching to other foods knowing you have one to fall back on.

Agreed. Also try dimming the lights or shielding the tank on the side from excess light. It may tank time for the plecs to "settle down."

Also agree with NLS- the garlic in it may act as an appetite stimulant. (It worked with my L114s)

NLS with the garlic is all my L-114 at 11 inches is fed and is in perfect health. I think I got Linus-cello hooked on this food when his pseudas were not eating. I have a standard 90 and my light is off of a 10 gallon tank which subdues the light perfectly. My L-114 never hides. He did when I had the light that came with the tank. It was too bright. Also I can see the tank perfectly with the light off the ten.

The water is crystal clear, been cycling over a period of time

Probably because they are new to the tank. I tried the NLS, they are still hiding in the driftwood and didn't even touch them
