Ok so I should stop offering shrimp

Well been a while that the nugget has been on the shrimp and zucchini diet and he seems to go for the shrimp more than the zucchini. Is this a sign that it is lacking something?

I got a good amount of flow, the return pump is putting out 400 gpm and a powerhead that is pushing 550 gpm. In the sump I got two big air pumps for o2 and the powerhead is angled up for o2 exchange. The nugget is not really shy and the color is bright. I just want to give it a better diet.

I read it a few time already

I picked up a big spot gold nugget pleco about 3" from my lfs they told me he was eating algae wafers. The tank that it is in is a 120 gallon 4x2x2. It's tank mates are 2 big anglefish, two discus, 9 cory cats and 8 black neon tetras. There was a bsn pleco but think the gold nugget killed it, they ...

Well its been awhile but I made some changes to the tank. I added two more L177 and some clown plecos. I also got the ok from my wife to build a 247 gallon plywood tank in the garage. Its going to 4x4x2. Ill start on that in a few months.
Here is a picture of what I have done to the fifty gallon.

Well here I am asking more questions ahout this one fish. I want to set a tank that looks good and that would be a home for my one L177 and maybe one or two more L177 in a 50 gallon tank. I like to have it look natrual from were it come from. Anyone have any ideas or even better any pictiures of ...

I had my first L046 16 years old and paided $46 US and then after I paided up to $75. I see on aquabid there going for $5,000-$8,000 for 6 or 9 fish. I want to get them again but I would need to take out a loan. Explain.

Some more good news nugget has got his/her color back after injecting air throw the powerhead and uping the temp to 80*F.
Its funning I have keep fish for a good amount of my life and this is the frist I have started to change my set up for one fish.
I'm crazy!

some more pic's of my set up

Well I added the fluval in tonight and with it and the powerhead my tetras are having a hard time finding a spot to rest. I'm going to do some more mods to te filter ie up the flow rate to 350+ gpm from 265 gpm on my return pump from the sump. After that I'm going to try changing out substrate and ...

Thanks for tips on tank setup. I knew that the tank isn't set up right for proper nugget keeping after reading other forums. I'm going to slowly start remake it. 1st on the list is filteration. I added a powerhead and going to add a fluval for more flow. I'll put more pic's of inner working of my ...

Well an update on the gold nugget its belly is starting to look good, not concave. It is eating well but the new thing that I'm noting is that it is getting pale in color. I would put a picture up but don't know how to do that. Well is it going to die soon or what?
Again thanks for any help.

First time on Planet Catfish. Well I went to my LFS and saw a gold nugget for sale. I see them before and realy never thought of gitting but when I saw its belly concave I felt sorry for it. I bought it knowing it could die on me the first day. Well the reason for writing is that it is eating ...
