This is one fish I failed to keep them alive all the three times I tried. first time I introduced 4x after tank cycled and stabilized for more than two months in a two foot tank, they died one after the other
they always seem to graze on the glass and plant leaves but got skinnier and skinnier over few months and finally belly up. I tried all sorts of algae wafers but they didn't touch. I concluded CO2 is the reason for their poor health/performance after going through some posts in the forums. next I tried in 5 ft tank, same story there too, i cant even find the corpse. Finally i wanted to try in another 2 ft tank which was running for more than a year, they did exactly as first try, never touched fresh veggies at all. mostly visible and not scared. now they are off my list.
