    I don't know if you house the babies together or not? I house mine together & find it can sometimes help get them eating as they'll see others doing it and then they're all in there. Becomes sort of a pack mentality. (bite sized food only though, don't want any accidents) After a couple of meals any ones that appear weaker/smaller or not eating I will separate out and house individually until they get eating regularly and put on some size. It's worked well for the few litters of Checkereds i've had & might be something to consider if you have trouble feeders.
    Yeah I house them together, they seem to like hanging out in one spot in a clump, the tank is warm enough but I think they like it warmer lol. Last year I had 10 that I was able to work with, so I've got most of tge housing and feeding down pat.
    One of them last year would only feed on guppies, and well after about 7 months or so I finally got it to eat full pinkies.

    Re: babie not moving much and very limp

    after work today, and after playing smile face with my son i looked into the babies cage and i see that the other regular checkered is looking better today, but the albino is still about the same... I'm sad to say this but I'm not sure if it's going to make it
    All I can do is wait and see, I got it to drink from the water though and that seemed to help a bit.
