I got a gorgeous 8+" tigrinus about a month ago, and I have not really seen him eat. I think I have seen him at times, but wouldn't bet anything I cared about on it. He looks to be in great health, so I assumed he must have been eating something I was throwing in there. And then, tonight I got my confirmation that he's doing well. He snagged a piece of krill straight from my hand. :headbang2 Between my young dats, aro and tig mowing down krill, I have to say that tonight is a GOOD night. :)
 
:D I know! Hey I know when to be grateful, and watching that tig with prefect stripes and top and bottom streamers almost as long as his body snag that piece of krill out of my hand... I was like a kid coming home with a good report card knowing I got money for every good grade. I was trying to keep from yelling it to my husband and scaring everyone in the tank. :grinno:
