I currently have a 3 inch l48, 2.5 inch L114, 5 inch l24 in my tank.
planning to move them to a bigger tank.
will they be better with substrate? or will bare bottom with Driftwod and caves be enough?
also do they like current? planning to add in a small wave maker pointed downwards if it would make them happy :)

how do i know if i'm feeding them enough or too much?
i'm currently feeding them Hikari sinking caarnivore pellets.

Do l114 and L24 also need some algae wafer?

When they are under 4" tetra bits and algae wafers are ok 1-2 times a week. Once bigger they will ignore them unless starving.
Feed too much they get fat.
They always like current.
Almost 3,000 gallons solely for raising and breeding Pseudacanthicus.
Spawned to date: L25, L65, L97, L114, L160, L185, L427, LDA07 and P. leopardus (L600).
