I have a baby RES and have had it for about a month now and It's about the size of a 50 cent coin. I have a few problems:
1. It's very skittish around me, it hides the majority of the time and even if I walk in the room slowly, as soon as it sees me it runs frantically. I don't know what to do about it.
2. It's muscle development isn't the best because of the conditions I got it in (it's kind of complicated) and as a result it doesn't really know how to swim too well. I tried helping it exercise by puting it in a bowl filled with water (the tank is a pretty low water level because of the struggles swimming) and I think that just stressed it out and made it upset with me.
3. It's starting to get chubby because of the lack of exercise, I feed it 3-5 pellets and a meelworm (sp?) or a tiny shrimp.
I don't know what to do...I'm so stressed please help
