Agree 110%. Most of the time, higher temps help stimulate appetites.Pufferpunk wrote:Lower temps lower metabolism.

Will do, we've put a few crays in there, so if she does get hungry there is something in there.. just waiting to wake up or come into the room and see shell every where.. but it hasn't happened yet. I am going to treat for constipation as well.geronimo69 wrote:Pufferpunk wrote:Lower temps lower metabolism.
Correct. This is why fry should be raised (albeit depending on species) in warmer waters. Of course, with a higher meta, they have to be fed more often. Hence feeding fry 3-4 times a day...
Leave the temp in Nalas tank the way it is. She'll come around, I'm sure. Keep an eye on her poop.

Nala has gone through a tank change, and has reacted to the change VERY well!!
She was eating by the next day, and swims around more then ever. Will get pics soon to update!
