im really happy as my mbu rocky ate some cockle today.
ive heard it can take a while for them to take to it.ive only had my mbu nearly 2 weeks and today he ate some cockle after constantly refusing it.
i buy them in the shell from my lfs.i crushed the shell and put it in the tank and he took a look and just hoovered around it.so i took it out and hand fed it to him with tweezers and he couldnt get enough of it.he ate 2.hopefully soon when he has more of them he will eat them from the shell.hes only 2.5inches so atm i have to crush it.when i got him he was so skinny and had hardly any appetite.now he loves his food and looks much much better.makes me wonder how he was treated at the lfs.its just wrong.well hes being well looked after here.hes a part of our family now.
ive also decided to change the decor in my tank.ill upload vids & pics when done.
im going to keep the sand and ocean rock,but im going to add a black background,lots of green plants & and hanging plants.also some moss balls.all fake tho.not keen on planted tanks.the marine look i had didnt look right and i think he will like my new idea instead.
