How's your new one doing? is it another painted?

My one has gone from a QT tank to a 10g with a couple of live rocks & mushrooms & seems to be settling in ok.

But he's not eating still.

I'll keep at it with the silversides & larger brineshrimp for now.

I might set up a bigger tank for him in the meantime. Maybe a 25-30g breeder tank.

Myka - he's ignoring mysis & I've tried chopped frozen tiger prawns but not whole smaller prawns.

Rippin - I've been looking at getting one of these for a long time & the ones that show up with amazing colours are few & expensive.

I've not seen one that had been weened onto dead foods at a LFS.

It's much easier for them to just throw in a few feeder fish or ghost shrimp than to take the time to ween them over.

Having said that, they'd make my like a LOT easier right now if they did!
