Weird behavior

[FuEl]

Just wondering if any fellow keepers witness this...

Happened twice so far...I approached the tank and somehow spooked the female scooter...it immediately burrowed into the sand with only the 2 eyes exposed above the sand.

Did'nt notice the male doing this though...

[Terryz_]

They sometimes do that one what...

[FuEl]

Huh..really meh..I keep for so many months first time see the scooter do this leh..

[Terryz_]

Mine when sleeping will do that sometimes... But not red scooter... Mine is those normal ones...

[hamannbmw]

my yellow head jawfish did that once....

[ervine]

Mine seems like it's craving for my attention... keeps swimming against the glass looking at me.. weird..

Do you feed these guys? I haven't seem him feeding on anything I've put in the tank except small pecks he makes on the sand and rocks...

[FuEl]

Hmmm...feeding mine mysis? Now changed to P.E mysis. They love it!

yes, urs is a female. can see the fin at the back, it's quite short, and when open up, not as nice as the male one.

I see i see... still not bad lah quite nice colour

Scooters don't take cyclops. Cyclopeeze is too small for their liking....

Too small?? Wah their tiny mouths can take so big food?

I think mine is happily eating pods or something, it climbs all over the rockwork pecking at the rocks...

[FuEl]

You have to start to train them to eat mysis...purposely leave some mysis on the sand bed..hopefully their curiosity will kick in.. They won't last on a diet of pods alone in the tank...they will consume pods faster than the pods can reproduce..

Actually its a normal behaviour for them to burrow themselves, but they dun do it all the time... was told my Henry at ML...
