Thank you for your response, and the reasons for my querie is that my scarlet never rejected food. I moved her into a new tank in Jan, to which she seems happy, and was accepting food. Then she started not accepting food then did her first molt in the new cage. It has been 3-4 weeks since her...
Heya everybody
So i have pictures as requested.
