But no they haven't eaten yet. So I am going to try your suggestions with a different approach. I had to put them in a 10gallon tank with a low level of water. Warm them up a bit and just provide a couple of things that they could grip to, so they could get air if they wanted. I didn't want to put alot of obstructions in the water so they wouldnt get their curly tails caught on anything, so I managed to make some "cave-like" structures. I also have to aerate(sp?) the water so that I can put some feeders in there for them to eat when they finally feel like it. I also tested multiple ways to ensure that the things weren't causing any major disruptions in the water. I tried leaving them alone for a while, and I also saw one of them "fishing" the other day, but none of them ate. So I am taking a bit of a different approach and seeing how that works out. I will certainly keep you updated.

Thanks again!

Chris
