Not at all-don't take any notice of anything. But wilnot eat any dry food at all

No dry food? Now thats useful information. Never kept them. Never would have thought they were fussy.

If you mean are they always on the move then no. But its always on view and hovers mid-tank waiting to be fed. Would only eat live earthworms at first but now its on frozen prawn but will only eat this if I cut it long and thin like a worm
