    i have seen her muching on stuff from the rocks and stuff, and she is starting to settle, i tossed a raw shrimp in last night and she went crazy for it, didnt seem to eat much off it but certainly had fun attacking it. so hopefully all is looking up. ill keep you guys posted as i go and feel free to ask for questions or different pictures

    i have tried getting selcon but when it comes to aquarium stuff australia seems to be lacking in a few places. she is doing fine though, is becoming more and more active and less bothered by me watching. but i will keep looking for selcon and see how i go

    i have some garlic extreme and some vitamin c i havent added either yet because she is taking the shrimp readily, ill have a go with the a few drops of the vitamin, and see how she takes to it. all in all she is starting to tame up nicely for me!

    ok now i have her eating the raw shrimp i put in the tank for her, i use a long pointed piece of rod sharpened at one end and put the food in front of her, she was shy to start but now starts trying to push her disc over the rod, now that i have her eating and settling into tank life, anyone with experience have any suggestions on things to look out for? or keep and eye on?
