| It is probably the l200 as you say. It will eat algae but can't be sustained on algae alone. It will still require vegies, pellets, driftwood, etc... to get a balanced diet. |

| Give it some time....It may help to ask the people you got it from what they were feeding it....It may just be used to one food and may take time to adjust.
