I've inherited a type of Labiobarbus. Best guess as to the ID right now is Labiobarbus Leptocheilus (if you want to see a photo check the other thread I posted). According to the Baensch Aquarium Atlas they should be an algae/plant eater. I've had the fish for almost a week now and I'm yet to find a type of food that it is particularly interested in.

I've seen in barely nibble on an algae wafer. I've seen it barely nibble on a piece of a tropical flake that had fallen to the ground. Today I put in a slice cucumber and it was uninterested.

Any suggestions to what food to try next would be helpful.
 
No one?

I don't expect to find someone who has kept them before, but could anyone give me an idea for a type of food to try next?
