She also gets frustrated easily and if she misses on her first strike will just give up and wander away or sit there and not try and eat. She loves minnows and ghost shrimp but pretty much that's all I can count on her to always eat so she is always a bit on the petite side. Also being yours is a juvenile they tend to be a little more on the skinny side until they mature or at least that's what I have noticed in mine.
Thanks for easing my mind. When you said earlier that they should be in the chubby side, i panicked and bought all possible and available worms, soft-bodied bugs and a variety of slow-moving fishes for him lol. (Just referring to it as him for now lol)
