I have a juvi L24 that I've had for almost two weeks. I have never seen it out but I know hes alive. I also bought an L14 and L200 on same day and they have been out feeding.

I know they are meat eaters and I had an L25 years ago that was equally shy but what do keepers of L24 feed theirs. I want to make sure he thrives and gets what he needs food wise.

I thought L200 were more of a veg lover and ate the skin off zucchini.
Two weeks isn't long for a pleco to be still sulking but if you are worried, rearrange the tank a little so you can see up in there better.

Yeah the L200 and L14 have both taken the zucchini and plec food put in. They are both reasonably active but the L24 is definately a shy fish.... for now anyway. I'll try some prawn in their for him tonight and hopefully get him kick started on food

prawn is a food i never feed plecs... because of the potential thiaminase poisoning....

what ever you fed your L025 is suitable for your L024 as they are very similar....

brine shrimp is always a tempting for meat eaters
