Mine is fat and healthy. Haven't been able to get him to eat frozen though.

Mine is also doing well I've never seen him show any interest in any frozen food but he picks at the rocks all day long.

I got two - a male and female, and they are the exact same way, picking all day long with no obvious interest in frozen food.

Mine still pick at the rocks all day, but I think it's more of a curiosity for him to eat the white stuff floating around. He doesn't actively swim into the water column to chase after frozen food though.

My guy eats only from the rocks and he's fat as a pig. Haven't even needed to worry about getting him a frozen. I think it's also because he likes to hang out far back in the rock work where all the pods are... unfortunately that means I don't get to see him all that often. For the first while I kept thinking he had perished but then he'd magically show up again.

Still kickin'

He comes out, but only briefly if I have the camera lol so please pardon the terrrible pics! He likes to hang out in the crevices and other unattractive parts of the tank lol. I don't think he looks thin? Must be getting enough pods because mealtimes he's oblivious to the food available. I might try hatching some brine shrimp for him as a treat?



Doesn't look "sucked in"? What do you think?

Yours looks good, Keri. No ribs showing. I bought a male and female at the big sale. The female was a goner within 2 days but the male is doing well. He eats frozen and whatever pods he finds.

I bought one from King Ed's about 2 months ago and he is healthy as can be. He actually took to pellet food right away ( as long as I target him and keep the other fish away with a net). Here is the stuff which I find works, it sinks right to the bottom http://www.jlaquatics.com/product/fd...+100+Gram.html. Hope this helps

Well, a bit of an update... I took my 120g down and gave him to a friend and he jumped, but he was healthy till then! Anyone else's still alive?
