Hello all,
Well my baby T.s.pickeringii that I got are really testing me. After having to put down the largest one due to some sort of nuerological problems.....now I'm having issues getting the others to eat. Actually it's just the one.....the other one is in shed...which is good! The other, and smallest....really wants to eat, but really seems to have no idea what it's doing???? I put guppies in a bowl and it chases them around LOTS, but can't catch them. So I tried just putting them on the bottom and it went right over to them and bit them, but then seemed to have NO IDEA what to do next. It just kind of wiggled it's head around until the fish came out. The only one that it's eaten was soooo small that when it bit it, it totally fit inside it's mouth and just ended up having it almost fall down it's throat. Even then, it seemed not to know how to swallow and it took several minutes for it to completely swallow the tiny fish (it was actually only half the size of it's head!). I'm not sure what to do, it seems really hungry and keeps going after the live ones in the water and biting the ones I put out for it, but nothing gets eaten. Anyone else ever have this problem or have some handy advice to help?????

Thanx......Roy
