had water changed about once a week and feeding is 1 hikari algea wafer per day... maybe they are hungry and hunt the yamato done..

bro..
got check ur water parameters?

never check parameters..
did a water change last night.. took out the sponge filter to wash and the water is so black!!

then removed a piece of wood to siphon out the debris.. oh my!! I found worms below it!! and they looks like tubifex worms and is redish pink in colour!
took some worms and throw inside my guppies tank and they loved it!
wondering y the bristle nose babies and yamato are not interested in it..

after I moved things around, I found more babies..

who sae who sae

the reason i could tink of is =>
breeding pleco seldom will eat much
u feed pellet thus alge dun eat
else too small [ babies ] cant eat them

Its normal not to find the babies if your planted tank is heavily planted.

but has been weeks already still no sign of them...
