(I hope people don't mind me making new threads when talking about my hoggie...if so let me know and I will stop)

Went to the expo (will post pictures soon) to the breeder to show off my hoggie to the breeder and get her opinion and do the trade. After seeing the overall size of her the breeder decided to keep trying to feed her until March when she will be at a more local expo. If she doesn't eat by then the breeder then said that she would do the trade for sure.

Also told me to "brain" the frozen pinkies or try to scent them with tuna or salmon. Not only that but after hearing our setup, temps, and whatnot she also said to just take out my heat lamp altogether and just stick to my UTH on the dimmer. Not sure how much I am gonna do that however what I am gonna do is take some test temps using my new temperature gun (bought at expo) with the light on and off. Might end up putting the light on the dimmer and keep it on but really really low.

The breeder seemed really adamant about me not having a lamp and keeping the temps at the low 80's in the hottest part of the aquarium. Since she is a successful breeder for a long long time I am gonna do what she says to be sure. Some of you might not agree with this but please at this point I am not up for discussion on temps.

So no I didn't trade her in. Tomorrow gonna try to feed her a "brained" pinky to see what she does. Still unsure if I am gonna feed her in or out of her tank...but for now I will try inside. She so seems to stress when she isn't in her tank.
