Lovely puff :D There was a nice little one in ADC when I went to check out a baileyi on Wednesday. He must have been about the same size as yours :D

Nice to hear its come out with its stripes when I got mine home it went dark almost identical to what yours was in the shop but now hes had some time to settled in I can see his stripes have come back. Im looking forward to seeing how these 2 grow up and what they turn into as adults. Heres hoping for some stunning looking Fahakas.
yes that would be cool !
Asha ate on the first day with bloodworms..she loves earthworms and rams snails...i have yet to try raw shelled mussels,cockles and raw shrimp yet as they seem too big for her to get into..tho i know fahakas will find a way..

Last night I tried him on a Hikari massivore delite pellet, he had a few bites of that and then I left it, hes totally ignored a Hikari sinking carnivore pellet so I wont be trying that again. I've just got him to take a piece of mussel which has filled him up. So ill wait a couple of days now and then try him with either a prawn or a small piece of silverside. Then later on ill try him on an opened cockle.

I havent attempted to touch him I dont really like to unless absolutely necessary and hes a bit too timid yet to get him to hand feed but I will give that a go as he gets more used to me.
