L200 green phantom

[jaws7777]

Need a little advice about the L200. I got him two days ago. Hes in a 150gal with lots of drift wood. He hasn't eaten yet that I am aware of. I have noticed that he is becoming less shy but still havent seen him eat I have tried both hikari and omega one veggie wafers as well as sinking pellets (hikari and omega one) is this normal ? Could it be that he needs a little more time to settle in? When is the best time to feed day or night (lights out) ? Any tips will be much appreciated

Turn out the lights and give him some zucchini. I'll bet you he comes out to eat, most plecos will

Once he finds a cucumber in the tank....he WILL eat it

I wouldn't feed cucumber. There's next to no nutritional value in it, zucchini or squash is more nutritious.

L200 is a meat eater. Try NLS or massivore pellets

I feed mine massivore, chopped silversides and chopped market shrimp. They don't touch zucchini.

Had mine for about a month now. I never see him eat but he is growing and healthy looking. I was nervous at first too. I think he eats at night.

I thought they were omnivors
