RE: A.jururensis

Hi Ade,
right now i'm feeding them with:
- blood worms (ones every other week)
- black worms
- adult frozen brine shrimps
- home made food
- euphausia pacifica (marine zooplankton) freshly capture and frozen (a good
side of being an oceanographer!)
- from time to time BBS
and nothing happens!
they are not showing any sign of eating or doing anything but being scared.
no swiming around, no checking the tanks out...no nothing.
They are freaking shy! never saw that before.
i'll try some dither fish, that might help.
any other suggestion?

Well Yvan,
	I am not allergic (crossing my finger) to bloodworms. That's why I asked
if you have white worms. Try frozen brineshrimp or something they love.
Hope it will work for you. I don't have paramecies in my tanks.
