Thanks for the feeding advice Scott, I use Hikari as my staple foods Gold and Excel every feed yet still had difficulties, I have managed to rear two specimens to adulthood 1m and 1f the female nearly drove me bananas as she went sometimes months without eating eventually she started eating freeze dried worms then eventually Hikari pellets. The last 2 however I couldn't get to eat anything they would mouth all the food then spit....so frustrating....may try again....this time with 'true' Rivulatus
