We hope for the best of the situation
All is well.
I shut the light off at 7pm, no arm action yet at 9pm. Peeked with a light quickly, and got a narrow eye through the rock. So... we wait. We stared at the rock all day today. So much for going to the S.H.E Expo in NYC today.
How does the rest of the tank deal with being under a red light all day? Or do I reserve the red for night time viewing?
Arm movement = hunting, awesome tip. Glad I had the instinct to try food when I saw arms last night! I guess we will wait another couple of hours before trying a feed stick with shrimp.
Or do we try to get 'her' on our schedule and try a feeding in a half that time?
With all the reading and research, I know the first few weeks of behavior isn't 'normal', but reading and doing are completely different, haha.
We were talking today, and the best LR move we did was to take the cap rock off of Sir Stewart's and the peppermints and now the scarlet shrimp's tall rock home. The ceph swam right into the honeycomb of the LR... and is still there. SOOOO GLAD I moved the LR that would have blocked all viewing possibilities.
Rethinking a convo we had with the LFS, their guy had 2 octopus, and they picked the slightly larger one to give me. I wonder how 'mature' this one is and I wonder what the other one was (if it wasn't the same species), fingers crossed for a few good months
