Had her since June as a rescue from a friends tank move gone bad. I've only recently seen her come out and eat with everyone else when I feed mysis/blood worm/ cyclopeeze mixture. Until now as far as I know she's only been eating pods.

That's is great you got them to eat frozen foods! I like to get one but afraid it will die because its a picky eater. Besides watching it eat before picking up one, any other advice to increase success?
