Well, every time I do a water change, I move the kids to a container with all sorts of goodies that they don't normally get. Gomie and B.D. get the program, and are pretty cooperative. But oh no, not Beaker. Every single water change I have to chase her around the tank and grab her (being careful not to get bit) and when I do, she puts up a big struggle, gets all dramatic, squirming and kicking and snapping at me and when I get her to the surface, there is usually water shooting out of her nose, water trickling from her mouth. I swear she is a huge drama queen! As soon as she gets in the feeding container, she pushes B.D. and Gomie out of the way and starts INHALING the bloodworms, crickets, etc. No harm done to the little queen.... :)
