I have 4 Bushys in my 100gal. They have been there a while but I do not have any algae (well not enough to feed 4 bushys). I drop algae waffers in at night but not sure if they are eatting them (I also have about 10 corys). Does anyone actually feed them?? And with what??
I have the same feeding request and get the same answers. Whenever I put in any sort of food my cichlids eat it well before my BN has a chance to get to it. The cichlids love the algae wafers, it's like a feeding frenzy. They also like the cucumbers. I only have one BN in a 75 gallon. He seems to be doing well with whatever he's eating.
I actually have the same dilemma. I lost one rubber pleco already because he wasnt getting enough food. at least thats what I think since water params are great.
only thing that changed is that I put Flourish root tabs in the sand few days ago, could that have something to do with the death?
there is some algae on the background and I did see both of them on there grazing but could never tell if they were eating wafers, zucchini or lettuce I had dropped in there. I usually drop it in after lights out but could never see them eating any of it. they were both aroun 1.5" and I hope not to lose that last one. they are just too cool looking.
I overcame the situation you described by slightly overfeeding but please note that I have a ton of biological filtration media in my sump as well as MTSs in my tank.
