For once, I thought I made a connection with the Undy. It was pretty cool actually. But this morning, nuttin'.
I gave the Pink and Picasso a couple of pieces, then I used the tweezers and would let her see the krill. When Pink went away, I showed it to her, and she would ease up toward the krill, then in comes the Pink. This went on for a while, I would hide the krill behind the braces when Pink came up. After several tries, she finally came up and got it right out of the tweezers. The cool thing is that she knew I was helping her.
She saw me hide it from Pink, and then show it to her when he swam away. I tried this the night before, and the Pink spit water at me two times.
That was too fun. But she wouldn't come up. I hadn't fed them like that before. So the second night I just waited until she got it.
I have heard that Undulateds will train that way. The Pinktail and Picasso eat out of the tweezers all the time. I am just surprised that, from everything I have been told and have read, this fish is so timid. Don't get me wrong she shows herself when she wants to, but I would think she would harm one of the other fish before she would go hungry. I don't know.
We get the crabs today, waiting on them now. I hope this works out. Does anyone else have hermits in with their triggers? We ordered shells so they can move up in class when they out grow these. So far, both of the crabs have made it. The triggers mouths are too big to get to the meat, and so far they aren't strong enough to break the shells. We'll See though.
Babbling again, sorry...............Peace
She is losing weight, (kind of like what Tangs look like) and I am getting kind of concerned. I keep thinking, when she gets hungry enough, she will eat. She has eaten well off and on for the last couple of months, but she is just so afraid or something. Not exactly the behavior I had expected from this aggressive.
