I would love to get one more,but I am waiting to see iff they eat thats all.Would suck to have nearly 300 dollars in fish starve to death.I suck at this.LOL
Yeah I guess so,they can take a while to come around.
 
Ok so tonight there acting really strange.There chasing the feeders all over the tank and now they have been nose to nose for like an hour with there tails almost straight up.Then the bigger one will go over top of it and kind of hold him down.I guess this is a good sign.There establishing who is the dominate one,but it almost seems like a mating ritual.IS THAT EVEN POSSIBLE??
 
I've never witnessed such behavior.They are miles away from adulthood and probably sexual maturity but who knows.
 
I just came home from work only to find a missing goldfish and a missing rosy red.WOW WHAT A RELIEF.18 day hunger strike is over.Well now I have 3 ghost shrimp as pets now it seems.They pay no attention to them.Anybody know what the shrimp eat?
 
The ghosts will probably eat any flake or pellet type food that sinks to the bottom.
 
Well I dont have to worry about them not eating anymore.The two of them are eating 2 each a day.I'm just trying to get them to take them soon as they hit the water now. It usually takes a few minutes.Gonna hold out for a few days and then drop them in and see if they'll snag em.
 
good deal

they will catch on soon.

When I had my shoal of tats going I could hand feed them. Because there was so much competition for the first feeder. I could hold it by the tail and they would come up and snatch it.

Now that I am down to 1 he could care less about anything. he does't even move when my hands are down in the tank rearrangeing stuff. Only when I pet him will he move. lol
