So glad to hear she is eating! The feeder is great since this fish needs to pick at food all day long. Update us with a photo of her after her belly is rounded. :) I hatch new ones for mine daily.

It might take awhile but I will post a picture. I am going to fatten her up before I through her in the DT. I am not using the target feeder yet just so she can get used to the BBS. I will probably start using it soon :D

Thank you everyone for your support!! I'll keep you posted!!

You are welcome. Once they start using Paul B's feeder they do pretty well. I still would encourage you to add pods regularly. I consider it a bonus that mine will eat the black worms and frozen food. I will continue to daily add newly hatched BBS. They are inexpensive, just a bit of work. ;)

Congratulations on your getting her eating.

I just added some more bbs to the tank. She was become so much more active!! I watched her chase down a couple bbs!! Normally she just waits for them to swim by. She doesn't have a fat belly but they will probably take a couple of days because bbs are so small. I want to fatten her up before she goes in the DT
