I don't know what is this as well. Long time ago, I bought about 15 of them at one go, they were all very eager to feed on mysis, but I notice that the ones who eat end up dying the next day.

In the end, all of them up lorry. My only conclusion was that they were cynide caught, and the internal organ has been damaged so they could not process food. Hope you don't have similar problem.

hi bro.

thanks for the input. so srry to hear all of them died. dun mind tell me which shop u got them from?

ya they are very very eager to eat but very skinny. at the shop the lighting wasn't good so couldn't see how skinny they were until i got home and put them in my tank. in fact at the shop i tot they were quite healthily fat...eye paste stamp

now trying to feed to get them to become fat fat. hopefully they dun die. so far 3days still ok. *cross fingers*
