BikBok Posted January 16, 2011 Report Share Posted January 16, 2011 we keep a trio of guppys in the eel tank to provide live food - fry - for the resident striped peacock However he has shown no interest in eating them so far .. He happily takes bloodworms from her fingers and investigates if she has food every time her hand is in the tank. So today my Miss 14 catches a fry and holds it by the tail, letting it wiggle in front of the eel . he nozzles it and then gulps it down whole.. My daughter is elated and is hoping he will now have the taste for fry! she said she just has to not look at the guppys face when she does it - ruthless!
