One last go with a Regal

Thanks Mark, I'll give that a shot. So far he likes Larry's the best.

Still doing really well, she even trained the CB to eat out of the water column. The Regal even eats out of my hand but that was a dumb idea cause now I've trained the rabbit to swim up to my hand. Im gonna get stung eventually, I can see it coming.

good luck- i just got one and so far so good but im always cautious that it could go south for him quick.

Ive got mine eating 4 times a day... im starting to think the trick is to get him to eat as often as possible. It doesnt matter how much he eats but offer food as often as possible in the beginning. My guy has started eating more at each sitting. Im planning on getting him fat.

Of course, the two i had before this never ate very much and died so maybe i just got lucky and got a good specimen.

Update time.

Doing well, eating well and fights with the big Copperband like theyre sisters. Its funny to see two fish that came to me passive as ever bickering with each other and eating out of my fingers. She has a spot on her tail, probably a litte lympho. I dont think its anything to worry about but Ive been slowly bringing cupermine levels up anyways just to be safe. She doesn't seem to mind the cupermine at all thus far.

That's great news, funny about the copperband. Mine is docile and never fights with anyone. Of course being ten years old, maybe everyone figures he is a senior citizen and leaves him alone?
