Pepermint shrimp

[FranklinP]

My new shrimp are not eating the Aiptasia. I have said nuturing things to them and even tried playing womb noises to get them to de-stress. I put pictures of reefs up against the glass to make them feel at home but they still insist on eating my precious brown algae that is slowly forming on the rocks. My thought is these shrimp need to be shown what they are supposed to eat, I was thinking a shrimp puppet to instruct them. Or the Aiptasia is really not that at all, it could be a rare anemone sought after by collectors all over the world and I have the only ones in captivity. Hmmmm. I considered a copper band butterfly but the book said it is an advanced fish. So basically I am to dumb to own one I guess?? :?

Play some rolling stones and cut back on the feeding in the tank.

I only ate in it once, that was when I first got it. Oh, I see now. I am trying to get my flounders to take food out of my hand and my little pipe fish doesn't like anything I put in it. So I guess I will just feed small amounts so the fish eat it up first.
