Hello,

L002 love to eat wood and also veggies like zuchinni etc. Only every now and then some meetier stuff, but stick to 90% wood and vegies. With wood mine like to munch on termite infested wood, that has been soaked under water for about 2 weeks..cheers jk :thumbup:

I give my Panaque's different woods to eat. You can give them fruit tree woods, oak or willow. But look out with woods that contain large amounts of resin such as pine wood. You can also leave the bark on the wood, they like to eat that too :)

Mine Loooooove peas. If I ever want to make them come out of hiding, I'll drop in some deshelled peas and they dive right on them.
I occasionally feed cucumber, zucchini or Pumpkin and they like all those too (when they can sneak in a bite or two around the gutso Bristlenose male...)

You need to make sure they have wood and plenty of it. Try some different types as said because some woods like mopani are too hard for them. Also they might like sweet potato or yam

L128 prob has same favs

yes, zucchini skin, but also, my L128's eat romaine lettuce, red bell peppers, baby spinach, just starting to eat green bell pepper, and peas , of course. Wood , gotta have wood as others say,and try yellow squash skin when in season. They usually eat all the skin, leave the flesh behind.
Give them a chance to realize it's food. I began by sticking a pc of algae tab into the veggie, that's how they realized the veggie was the goodie ! good luck
