Re: Skinny Notho females (Skinny elegans females?)

[Wright Huntley <jwwiii at pacbell_net>]

Elegans-group expert question:

I recently obtained a young pair of cognatum and a trio of congicum. 
They are not filling out quite like I would expect, but I'm not that 
experienced with this group. In particular, the congicum females are 
still pretty hollow-bellied, despite a healthy diet of bbs and 
blackworms. Small supplements of Golden Pearls Larval Diet (Artemia) 
don't seem too terribly exciting to them.

They have been through the shipping shock from Europe, but have been so 
reclusive and shy compared to the (local) mirabilis obtained at the same 
time (last Sat.) that I wonder if I should be looking for some 
flubendazole or just showing some patience?

They are finally adjusted enough to be out where I can easily see how 
skinny they are. [I might have asked sooner, but they have been pretty 
hidden in the Java moss, most of the time.]
