Re: Mysterious death of Hemiancistrus subviridis

With you feeding a lot of veggies do you clean them good and remove part of the outer skin, there could be insecticides or other chemicals on the veggies, and since that's something you're feeding that the shop did not it could be the cause, or just eliminate the veggies.
