he's cute!

yes, thaw out the bloodworms. give him just a few worms at a time. because he is settling in, his appetite may not be at its optimum level, and you don't want uneaten food fouling the tank.

what i do when i want to feed just a bit of a frozen food cube (bloodworms, mysis, etc) is shave some of it off with a knife and put the rest of the cube back in the freezer. works great.

I have had mine pull tantrums and refuse to come near me or eat for as long as 3 weeks. I let them have their fun and they always let me know when they are over it and ready to eat.


Gotta love some of these answers from people that have never had one!
