BTW i would like to share one interesting point i observe from them.............

This happened 4 times to date.

I notice a distinct behavioral patten when it comes to TWO MBU trying to snatch a particular food. (red worms for this instances)

When a single red worm lies on a plant or any elevated surfaces and TWO MBUs are "targeting" the same food source.
The one that gets the first bite and swallows it would immediately flare its tail up.
It's like trying say "haha i got it first. finder keepers losers weepers".
No, when it flare its tail it does not dash off. It would just flare it for like 2~3 secs.

Interesting find i would say.

Anyone experience that before?

Btw, I know what you do. You are a smuggler and that's why you can't tell. With a sidekick that is 7' tall and hairy from head to toe that can't speak a lick of English...lol....jk... :D

Hey the funny thing is that i was ACTUALLY thinking of removing those small little pipes this afternoon and replacing it with a single MUCH MUCH bigger pipe!
Funny how things works in sync sometimes.

Oh and if u were to follow this thread closely, i mention some time back that these 12 fry NEVER enter those PVC pipes.
The grey ones they NEVER enter it, but however for the translucent ones the do play around with it.

Yeah, I read a big bit and seen what you was talking about the pipes.

Btw, your sidekick lives on Kashyyyk ...lol
