    Say hello to Dilly! She arrived via FedEx this past Tuesday. What a difference a lil yelling can do :) She is much bigger and fatter then Pickles was! Swims wonderfully throughout the entire tank. Very alert and curious. Pick pick picking at the LR :) I've also put a glass jar in the tank where I feed Nutramar Ova/New Life Spectrum pellets 3 times a day :)

    Thank you for sharing this :) What a beautiful lil fish! I can't honestly say for sure yet that Dilly's eating what's in the jar. But she does spend a lot of time in there. I watch constantly but don't see her pecking at anything. But I do see her *gulping* a lot. Could this be her swallowing?

    Yahoooo!! I am happy to report that Dilly totally went crazy over frozen blood worms this morning :)
    So of course I got on the internet and ordered her some Hikari frozen blood worms, Hikari frozen baby brine shrimp and some PE Mysis :)
    I put the food into a glass jar which she comes to right away. I was shocked though to see the way she went after the blood worms. She was even chasing down the ones that floated out of the jar~lol. One thing I don't like however is she will spend pretty much the entire day in the jar. So I have removed it until her next feeding.
    Talk about a relief!
