Are you positive it is a dolphin? Sounds more like a great white. Easy to confuse the two as they look almost identical, except for the drain on top of the dolphin's head.

A complete cycle should do the trick. BTW, is it a Rocky Mountain Dolphin or the prairie variety?

hopefully its the rocky mountain variety....Ive heard they are easier to keep.....the prairie dolphin feeds heavily on prairie oysters, which can be hard to come by sometimes....
