Panaque Paradise
Just got my L190 back from a buddy. Stopped by to hang out, saw him on the glass...stomach sunk in. eyes sinking in. he was in a pretty heavily stocked 125 and im assuming he was getting bullied and not eating. He is around 7". I pit him in my 36g bowfront for not. There is lots of manzanita dw in there. Im gonna feed sweet potato and zuccini daily. What else should I do? Should I treat for ip's just in case? Please help.

Algae wafers, spirulina, live anacharis, etc. Feed him some garlic extract, too, in the event he picked up some intestinal parasites. Good luck in your efforts.

Thanks phil. Is the suggested food in addition to the veggies I listed? Or is it meant to replace them?
 
In addition. You can also feed kale, spinach, turnip greens, apple chunks, carrot, banana. Basically, any produce he's willing to bite into is worth trying. At worst, what he doesn't like can go into your cooking.

Coconut is also good. Not only is the pulp nutritious, the husk fibers on the shell is like candy to panaques.
 
He has always eatin his veggies without issue. And I was under the belief he was still being fed veggies on a regular basis. But it looks like that wasnt the case. He has always eatin the sweet potato most, so I figured i'd start with that.
