this are pic of my new golden nugget pleco...he is beautiful, but I am noticing that everytime that I put food in the tank, the clown loaches take everything and the nugget just hides really fast... any suggestions? b/c I do not think he has been eating too much. thanks..

Hi lunasmile,
What foods have you tried feeding your Golden Nugget on? And what time of day do you feed? If you haven't tried it already, add some food after lights out, as being nocturnal he'll be more inclined to come out and find some. They do like eating cucumber and courgette, so you could try adding slices weighed down with a plant weight. I've also seen them grazing on frozen foods too.
