2/15/09 *5.5"-6"" Female Motoro update!*

Here she is! Grew around 0.5"-1". She loves eating night crawlers still, and have not yet taken shrimp!
She has great personality and loves cruising the surface when lights are off. She is a great eater and can chow on anywhere from 3-4 night crawlers a day! AND still looking for a nice male to cope with her.

1st picture is showing how fat she gets after a meal.
2nd, 3rd, and 4th is some action shot of her going after a piece of night crawler. And the 4th picture is also taken with flash on.

Enjoy!

Nice, did you purchase her in Wisconsin? I know there are some pretty healthy looking motoros at aquatics unlimited in Milwaukee. I don't remember if there were any males though.

nice pattern on her!

have you tried starving her for a little bit to get her on shrimp....

Looks good...

I did try starving her for 3 days and she never gave in so I gave up and threw in some night crawlers, and she went straight for them.

I'll try once she gets bigger. And yes I did actually got her from the same parents as Aquatics Unlimited got theirs from. That is why I don't want to buy a male from over there to prevent siblings breeding, AND I don't think they were putting their motoros for sale anyways.

Thanks all for the comments.

how about not feeding her again till friday

 

[hmoobvwj]

It will be a hard sight to see my little girl trying to crawlers and is offered only shrimp.

I will try again this week starting today till Friday. Starving her for a week shouldn't be a problem right?
