Its the hard part of getting them healthy and then keeping them alive.
I think it was Tony who said...Step one is the 2 week mark,then a month ,then 3 months,6months,9 months and a year.

I have had the brown one 5 months so i feel a little more relaxed but still a little up tight. I think the key is a healthy specimen from the beginning. No gapping mouth and good colour and a feeding response.
My first yellow one started to deflate and inflate from day one and had no feeding response at all. He lasted 2 months and that was it.

These two were both mouth closed tight and good colour and very sticky with awsome feeding response. I feed the little on tonite and it took about a minute for it to take the shrimp from the outside tentacles to the mouth and to swallow it

Beautiful though and worth the effort...Tony knows this all better than i do and everything i know i have learned from him
