how active should my HL be..................

Posted by niki on July 23, 2002 at 16:43:32:

hi everyone. i am very concerned about my HL. i have had him for about one month now and he has completly stopped being active. he sleeps ALL day long and just moves to find a different place to sleep. he has been feed ants for the majority of the time that i have had him but i ran out and i should be recieving more from lifestyles on thursday. he is in a 20gallon long tank with hot spots reaching 100 degrees. he has a water dish but i also spray down the tank every other day. the substrate i use is bone/calcium sand. is there anything that i am possibly doing wrong? i really feel like he is slowly dying but then again i have never raised HL's before. are they normally very unactive? please, any advice would be appreciated! thanks, niki

    • Get rid of the calci-sand. Use alluvial sand or buy Playsand-NP loren 07/26/02 (0)
