So what are you feeding, just earthworms and blackworms, or are you still doing the guppies?

No more guppies. I bought some but when he went after the blackworms, I tossed them into Filbert's tank.

Not quite 3" & that's with tail. The red gravel was from my red Congo, to keep it bright red.

PP is a bit fond of strong colors. My tanks would bore her to sleep. I am sooo ultraconservative. ;)
