Need wood+veggies.

Thanks! Often throw in a courgette and had plenty of wood also.

Wood and veggies will not be enough, it needs some algae based foods as well with a little bit of animal protein occasionally. Wood has minimal biofilm in tanks, so it's not really useful as a food source(they can't digest the wood itself), and veggies are mostly water.

Almost looks like a common but the mouth and nose kinda throw me off, you might be right
Panaque schaeferi with a sunken belly. Feed it up.
