Well done so far.
I don't know that the piece of shrimp is going to appeal when it is this young.
Being a bio film grazer and all.
I guess it just needs to recognize the food items as food?


Cheers.

Thank You,,,I haven't seen any poop today,and he is back in his corner. I hope he figures out his ...

it is 4am and i thought i would take a peek at him, it doesnt look like he has eaten anything i put in his tank but he does look alot fatter. i tried getting a better pic of him but my flash on cell phone kept going off but i didnt want to turn light on and scare him back to his corner so hope ...

Gave another 0.2ml feeding 2am...goodnight.. hope he is alive in the morning,,

Just gave him his 10pm feeding, he was easier to catch, good thing for me but im sure that is a bad thing overall. gave him 0.2ml again.
