new motoros not eating & retic chasing them.

[JeremyXXXX]

my female retic is so greedy. pacing back and forth against the divider trying to suck up bloodworms from the motoros side even though she has plenty of her own lol

Im glad the divider is working out for you. I figured it was more stress than anything. Hopfully you will get them to eat earthworms better. The blood worms are ok, but not alot of nutrients as the earthworms will be.. but give it time.. Im sure they will start eating them soon.
Id give them some time divided.. at least till you get them fattened up.. and the retic gets use to seeing them all the time.

Have any pix?

 

[JeremyXXXX]

I'll take some tomorrow after my weekly water change.

my rays are breathing heavy now got me worried,
I put some aquarium salt in after a water change but took it out when they started breathing heavy.

also, I think my retic just puked up all her food? I saw her swim and all the sudden bloodworms were everywhere!

Great pics...Always dilute the salt before putting it in.

 

[JeremyXXXX]

any idea why they are breathing heavy? no change in parameters.

Watch the rays and that divider as their tails can break off if they catch them in the holes of the egg crate. Tails don't grow back.
