Hi again Guy's,
Follow on post from previous need more help solely on diet and ideas please,
Gizmo is 10yrld male although he looks half the size of others in same age group, apparently only been fed on frozen worm & shrimp
which looks evident by the way he consumes his food, he never takes large mouth fulls but instead creates a vortex with his claws and picks
of the floaters, if he see's a lump of BW he still does this behavior, I gave him waxworm ystday and although he put a quarter into his mouth
he still tried to vortex with his claw's then spitting WW out! he's not interested in floating Raptor sticks even though they are broken small nor
sinking sticks similar ingredient to raptor, also tried pacman powder rolled into balls then dropped and he just created an almighty cloud of food
without even opening his mouth( guess he was looking for BW's)
So brainwave idea! I used the BW's to crush into the Pacman food powder so the smell entice him to eat the healthier food, but he still did not consume
the Pacman nor the small bits of worm coated with same! as a test I dropped fresh BW's opposite's side of tank and he picked them off using his vortex
method. tried a small nightcrawler and he just was not interested* I think his mouth is unusually small the Waxworm looked to big for him to consume
and yes he's defo an ACF and we were informed he was about 10yrld, I promise pics soon.
Further to the above I found the shrimp/BW /fecal matter messy! I removed 80% of gravel keeping small corner for plants which are being boosted by nutriballs, toying with inserting his food to a small necked JAR 20 deg upright(but large enough ullage to turn) he can feed like a pig and keep the food contained the vortex he creates throws the food allover the place(even with filter off)
Lastly am concerned about calcium and what I should do/ if you have idea's suggestions as above please share many thanks Craig.
Update pics sorry poor Quality better next time tape measure body just over 2inch long 1 inch wide!!!!
