Palembangensis eating habits
Maybe this is a silly question, but does the palembangensis have the same eating habits as the suvatti? I am thinking about not wanting food for a few days after feeding (well, my suvatti doesn't act like that, though)? My new palembangensis took food the first day after I got her (last friday). After that she didn't want any food, until yesterday. I tried to tempt her over and over again, but didn't succeed until yesterday. The other days, she showed interest in the food (a shrimp in a thread), and swam around it, looking at it all the time. But she didn't even try to taste it. That is until yesterday. I was relieved when she ate again!

Re: Palembangensis eating habits
mine ate every other day for a few weeks after rescue, then nothing for a whole week, i became really worried, but he happy ate on the 8 th day, had us all worried. now he eats every other day and sometimes skips two days, hope that helps you stress less , i have put lots of small snails in the tank so even if he doesnt eat a mussell he can have a little snack, must have put 30 in and four months later have 8 left.
