Purple Queen(Tuka)... I had a school of them for over three years until the largest turned male and got aggressive with with all the females not allowing them out to feed losing them one by one. As mentioned getting them to eat is challenging and multiple feedings a day is a must.

Thats usually what happenes with them, and theyll start dropping one by one. At first i fed them 3-4 times a day in small quantity for almost a year before i dropped down to 2 feedings. Once in the morning and once at night,

Ill pay you a thousand dollars if you get them too and tell me your secret =)
