Aros ate from hand!!!

[xrtg]

Speakin of which, I just got bit twice today while feeding. Didn't hurt though. Just a slight nip. The thing that hurt most was the first one scared the crap out of me cause he came from a blind spot. I pulled my hand so fast, that I hit the hood to the tank. That one hurt.

hehe...they are masters in doing that. sometimes when i'm cleaning my tank they'd come from behind and SNAP.

If the aro won't eat the krill, but will eat the crickets, try gut loading your crickets with the krill.

Nice! I never even thought of that thanks . Right now I just feed them carrots. Do you have to give crickets water or do they get moisture from the carrots.

I have fed my crickets carrots, but I also keep one of the gel water cubes in there with them just to be on the safe side.

Ever since I started feeding mine crickets he won't even go near the krill anymore, but he'll eat anything else I give him, so far.

da same is w/my jar. i started him off on krill but after he had a taste fo crickets he never eats krill anymore.

carrots provides da crickets w/carotene which is suppose to be color enhancing. also da water in da carrots keeps da crickets hydrated. jus make sure its isn't all dried up.
