I like your sand!! Looks so soft.
It is the 3M S grade, supposedly perfectly spherical. It would feel great to roll around in thousands of little balls wouldn't it.

Yes, I did try mussels and she did not bite. Typically for my problem feeders, I soak the food FD shrimp in garlic extract, I don't see how simply rubbing them will garlic will last more than a second or two.
So far I have been giving her guppy fry and baby crays and am trying to source out gammarus shrimp.
She has probably only been in captivity a matter of weeks and naturally isn't accustomed to taking dead food yet.
My plan is to grow her on the above diet and begin the process of accustomize her to dead food
