I eventually had to net the lil guy, he was having a tough time it looked like breathing, so i slowly pulled it outta his mouth. he's a fat lil bastard, as you can sorta see http://pictures.care2.com/view/2/204968279
I guess ill have to start chopping up the worms b4 feeding, it is amusing though to watch him and the exos attacking a worm 3X their size.
I have one as well (I think, haven't seen him in a while, and he was quite active, so perhaps my reds tagged him), and I really like him. Great coloration, cool looking whiskers...
Try looking for a spotted one as well: those are also very cool!
Here's one of mine (and he's a fat little bastard as well)
My striped raphael:
I haven't tried worms yet, but I'm a bit affraid urban worms are full of toxins and other harmful shiz....
Sweet pics Jonas, mine barely ever comes out from this piece of lava rock I have in the tank, there's a whole in the middle of it that he has made it his home, but I did just throw in some gold pellets and he came out and vacuumed them off the top
i saw the spotted ones, they were right beside the striped ones at the LFS i bought him at, maybe ill buy one of those next time im up there and throw him in my piranha tank, as the 10 gallon is probaly 2 crowded as it is
