why is my bristlenose hiding???? Please Help Me

by j_bball_rox

My new bristlenose catfish is hiding behind the filter. YES he is still alive he moves but rarely.He is 3cm long and reasonabley small.

1) What should I feed him?

2) How can i coax him out of his little hiding place?

3) Is there something wrong?

4) How long does it take for them to get bigger on average?


Any answer obliged and welcome

Thanks For Your help

Well, they are nocturnal, so he's mostly sleeping or chilling during the day. Beyond that, they are bottom-feeders, so sinking pellets, and he'll probably munch on algae if you have any. There are algae wafers that sink, too.

Probably nothing is wrong... it's common for new fish to hide for a few days, especially the more reserved type.
