That approach won't work - he's not alone in the tank - and the Mbunas will
eat anything I put in there - I can see him come out of the hole, but only
partially, when I feed the rest of the fish in the tank, but he never leaves
the hole in the rock - it's been about a month now that he's been in there -
I can't figure out how he's getting enough food to stay alive.

the fish wont even come out when you remove the rock from water, i know
from experience.

the fish are really shy, especially if kept singularlly.

my friends pakistani loach sits behind his heater constantly and only
comes out at night.

i also have a VERY aggressive sub species of the pakistani loach kept
with a 9" oscar, and he is constantly rooting around on the floor for
scraps. (or chasing the cichlid double its size)

i recently bought a zebra botia for my community to clean out my snails,
hes very shy too, always hiding in the gravel as far as i can tell.

feel lucky you can see your fish for one.

the best way to check (not that you have to, the fish is just hiding)
turn off the room lights one night, and throw some blood worm into the
water, no loach can resist.

peace. Craig
