	BN Plec
WiseIves Enthusiast MbunaMbunaMbuna Posts: 237 Kudos: 180 Votes: 85 Registered: 24-Nov-2004	My BN plec seems to be thriving, I've noticed that he's starting to grow more whiskers. He already had a lot on the top of his nose but now their starting to get longer & more are growing on the sides. Just glad to see he's doing well as I rarely see him feeding, guess he does it on the night shift as I have no algae By all means marry; if you get a good wife, you'll be happy. If you get a bad one, you'll become a philosopher. Socrates- I happen to have become a philosopher

Just drop him an algae wafer before you switch off the lights & he'll be fine. http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

He also feed on leftover bloodworms, etc... He hides by the heater, an african root in the tank & a cave made of slate.

However in my SA tank they only come out after dark. In some of my smaller tanks i see them dashing about most of the time. BTW im a night person so my lighting is on my schedule so i can actually see my tanks. The lights come on at 6pm and turn off at 4 am. Bdadawg

DoctorJ Big Fish Posts: 344 Kudos: 1159 Votes: 191 Registered: 13-May-2003	I've given my BN romaine lettuce, zuchini, and peas and he's liked all of them so far. I've given them all to him raw and he seemed to enjoy them. I shell the peas first, though. Other people blanch the vegetables before putting them in. You should try it: it's a nice way to give them some variety in their diet.
