Hey Everybody,
I just got my A. Seemanni a week and a half ago, and it seems like everything is going well. She is still quiete young and is only around 2 1/2 inches, but I have not noticed much burrowing behavior and I am wondering if this is because I have not given her enough substrate to work with or whether I should purchase something for her to burrow underneath. I had a few pieces of artificial foliage planted which she systematically tore down and occasionally can be found under, and she HAS dug herself a bit of a pit, since the substrate is only 3 inches deep she reached the bottom and sits in there occasionally. Am I doing anything wrong? Also, she has been eating around 3 cricks per day since I got her, and now she is slowing down a lot and not attacking with vigor, but she still eats them when they are foolish enough to present themselves to her jaws. I read that it is a bad thing to "powerfeed" so I was hoping for a little clarity on the matter. Oh yeah, this is my first T so... take it easy on me if I am doing something wrong? Gorgeous animals though, I could stare at her tank all day.
