New MONSTER Panaque

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Very nice Cat. Love the tank set up, Not to cluttered.
Ive heard these guys love to eat wood, I had a mate who had one and he put some wood in the tank, next day he was cactus jack (dead)..
He was certain it was the wood.

Cheers

nice royal, looks like its sculpted. not yet full grown either! hope theirs never any problems with the blue eyes, ever lol.
 
from what ive seen thus far, he doesnt eat that much wood. But my other doesnt either. they seem to prefer to eat pellets which is fine by me, safes me the cost of wood.

they will eat wood if u stop feeding the pellets..i dun feed my panaques any commercial food at all except once in a blue moon. (once or twice every month?). None of them have sunken tummy and are doing very well. Wood should be the primary diet for them. Long term feeding of commercial food which typically has high protein content will most prob cause intestinal probs in the long run.
 
Hey mate, i dont feed them high animal protein food for that reason. The good thing about feeding them pellets is that they learn to come to a certain corner and thereby become much more active. My plec comes up for me to touch him to get some pellets now!
