Hi folks, I just picked up a male and female albino bristlenose (3 inches) about a week ago, they haven't been too interested in eating anything, I have offered a lot of different veggies and wafers with no luck, I fear they will starve themselves. Any suggestions?

if your bristlenose arent eating theres a problem somewhere....

check water quality first - ammonia nitrite nitrate levels...... a ph test will help too

if your happy with the results then look into worming your bristlenose... check their bellies - if they are hollow or like they have an empty stomach (no stomach) when you push on their belly then its very likely they have worms....

talk to your local fishop for some help if your totally unsure of what to do...
