Diet
Lots of vegetables such as zucchini, sweet potato, cucumber and many others along with vegetable and spirulina based wafers. They love to rasp on driftwood so a few types of wood should be available to them. Will eat higher protein foods and this species should have some on occasion, but it's not advised to feed it too often as they are susceptible to stomach issues.
