Re: Worried about Miriam :-(

Hey guys, so, let me run this by you. Miriam is definitley perkier. She was moving around this weekend a little, and keeping her head up more. And so on Sat morning I offered her a pre-killed minnow off the tongs-- and she snatched it!!

However... a few minutes later, she had dropped it.

So I waited a few hours, and tried a guppy-- again, she snatched it-- and then dropped it.

What do you think?? Could her mouth/throat be sore from the tubing?? What makes them strike but drop prey??

Thanks guys...
