Update on my retics

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
They look in great shape!
As for getting them onto alternative foods I found that, after settling in (about 3 months), offering a small amount of sinking pellets at meal times along with their normal food gave them the opertunity to investigate them and after a while they started to take them. I then added more and more pellets and now that makes up most of thier diet. The best part is being able to use an auto feeder when I'm away!
 
The gravel so far seems to be fine, I check them all the time for any abrasions (not so much as a scratch), they can bury easily enough, and they seem to be in great health. I would like to put them on something different once I move them into the big tank, I don't care much for sand, at least none of the types I've seen/used so far. Any suggestions?
 
keep it up! id like to see what a full adult looks like since no one seems to be able to keep them alive
 
Me too, I'll be updating with new pics often, I plan on having at least 2 males and 2 females, eventually I hope to breed them. I'm stubborn like that, I know I should have gone with motoros because they're easier, but when I am told something is unkeepable, I just have to be "that guy" who proves them wrong. Wish me luck!
