Just a quick note to say things seem to be OK so far. The main concern is that the ammonia spiked a little. It is two much of a jump from bits of bloodworms for the damsels to chunks of shrimp. I think I have it under control with 5 gal water changes and have not seen it go much above .25.
Pablo gets pretty active in afternoons and evenings and visiting more places in the aquarium. He touched my fingers 3 times over the last two days and I used D's strategy to be firm. Last night when I fed him he ignored the shrimp which was on the end of a stick and came up the edge to get at my fingers. After letting go he still ignored the shrimp. I was worried but I let he stick go and then he went for the shrimp. Maybe he was happy to have both the stick and the shrimp where as on previous feedings he would continue to tug on the stick and I would not let him have it. I offered a second helping but he did not take it so I fished it back out after a while. I guess its good if we do not need to be putting too much in right now. Maybe he is not a female with eggs which is also good.
