My L52 :)

[lilfishie]

You may know i brought a breeding trio of L52's sadly the male and 1 female passed away soon after they arrived

1 Female is still with me but is very shy and doesn't come out

Heres a pic of her before she found the bogwood

The male before he died (shows how much they change colour, the other female was mainly white)

Any ideas on how to make the remaining female feel confident enough to venture out now and again?

theres plenty of hidy holes (2 wood and 2 slate caves)

i would get a refund or get them to replace the 2

exactly what i'm doing as they cost me a fortune

plecs are well known to hide. once in a tank especially with lots of wood and caves etc you will rarely see them....

some plecs will venture out like commons, gibbis, bristlenose, pitbull etc but most will stay out of the light im affraid unless they get to a size where they cany hide any more.....

Got a refund for the 2, the other is still fine, am now tempted to go back to BN's

was that the trio of e-bay you bought? what was the problem with them?

 

[lilfishie]

it was yes, don't think they travelled well tbh, the male was nearly dead when he arrived and one female died that night

thankfully the remaining female is doing well, started to come out more too
