Be careful when feeding them, and making sure they get enough.

I had a pair I was feeding every other week. Apparently it wasn't enough and they both just up and died on me. I'm assuming from starvation, but I really do not know why they died.

Thank you these are my first pairs how much were you feeding them every other week a whole star a part of a star?

I was feeding them 1 leg every other week.

It would take them a day or 2 to devour the entire leg. I also found, don't keep 2 stars in your sump together, one will predate the other. I live about 2 hours one way to an LFS, so I was buying 2 CC stars once a month. Found out very quickly one will predate the other.
