yasha feeding question

[eaglesrx]

My yasha pair and pistol are finally starting to get more bold now that they've settled down in their burrow with their pistol. They've only been in the tank for a short while.

One odd thing I noticed since they've been in the tank, they'll only eat a couple of frozen mysis, then stop eating. However, they're still swimming out of their burrow, above the sand as though they're still hungry even though food floats right by them. Do they get full that quickly or is this a sign of another type of behavior?

I know that my pair of percs, nessarius, cleaner shrimp, and hermits are loving the extra frozen mysis!

Thanks for any help!

Mine eats way more than that and he also catches food and puts it in the burrow for the shrimp. But since you say it's only been a short while, I wouldn't worry yet. I didn't see my yasha for the first 2 weeks I had it.

I try and give a variety. I have flake food, frozen brine, mysis, cyclopses(sp?), and on occasion live brine. I did add some mollies so there will free food from them.
