You've found him then 

  not really, this pic is from when I put him in the tank a few days a go. Still haven't seen the little bugger 

Seriously considering removing that massive bog wood and toying with the idea of a 3D background?

Give him time and he'll pop out.

I saw my gn last night all round the tank, 1st time I've seen him for a week.
So put lots of food in thinking he was hungry!

I think part of the idea of having a pleco I think.

I'm thinking about a small red moonlight led so i can watch for an hour or so. had a look but couldn't see one.

Don't use a 3D background with plecs, they tend to rasp the coating off and die from the toxin.

Ah no worries.

I'm still in two minds to take the big bog wood out, I might actually cut it in half and only use the best part.

Just getting a bit bored with the look, like we all do I suppose

I can't remember whether the plec needs wood for digestion or not.

He does.

Do you want my Jbl algae wafers with 10% wood in them?


Ps, post some new pics of your wood. Perhaps put some ferns or Anubias on it instead?
