Glad to hear she's eating, Spring is in the air!

We had a storm roll in last night (unfortunately turned into 30cm of snow and counting... )But i find a big low pressure system always gets them active , I've noticed my gachua and auranti pairs are both hanging out together in the floating cover. Also had fights break out in the bleheri tank, 4 of the 6 had bite marks, so I'd say the 2 pairs clashed with each other over night. Back to normal and eating together in the day though.

I also tried squid after seeing it worked for you and not a single fish i own would eat the stuff lol. Aro, bichirs , snakeheads, dat's,they all spat it out, even the turtle didn't like it.

Left long enough the FRT took a bite, and one of the ornates tasted a piece but that was it!

Funny thing as regards the squid. It was the trigger for my auranti female to start eating and all the aurantis love it. The bleheri have to be persuaded though. They prefer mussels.
Aro and cichlids eat squid like candy; bichirs only if there´s nothing else; gars hate it.
