This is the other female I picked up at NARBC anaheim in september.

She hasn't grown as much as the hypo tang. but I can see color development on her head which makes her look really cool!

She has been refusing to eat lately, maybe bullied by the larger female?

She looks somewhat skinny to me, but her tail looks good enough.

I've noticed that she doesn't come out for crix as much as before, so I tried feeding her mealworms today with success.

she looks fine to me. you could try throwing in some crickets or waxworms if you don't already, to up her fat intake.
 
Thanks for the feedback bro.

I do add crix daily, but now it's only the hypo tang going after them.

This little patternless just stays in the hide.
 
Seems pretty fine to me;) Thouse colors are sureal. You can also try grasshoppers and roaches
 
She doesn't look bad at all but if you're worried you could always separate them during feeding so you know for sure she's getting her fare share of the food.
 
Also, have they started to poop in the same spot? What I have found to be nice thing to clean up this especially when using paper towel as a substrate is to leave a section clear that they use the bathroom in and then put a couple of paper towels folded in half in the bathroom section so that when they use it you can just remove that instead of changing the entire substrate. Make sense?

I was wondering the same thing....

Two crushed grapes that helps to hydrate the worms, and keep them moving in the bowl :)


I know exactly what you mean about the bathroom thing, and I do have extra paper towel down in their crap zone, but the problem is that when I clean out the tank each month, the smell gets washed away and they pick a new spot :irked: :D
