Loved the debate!! Very entertaining and somewhat educational. I would have to agree that my tank is just fine, and no it may not be easy to monitor what he eats, but they are not precious children for crying out loud. I bought a plant for him too to munch on as well as some more guppies. I just don't have the heart to cut off their tails but I may try to hold them in front of him. I have seen some guppy heads floating before so I think he does sort of a crowching tiger and pounces on them when swimming by. HAHAH

Well again, thank you for all the info and unfortunately I have another question....How long should the heat light be on for? I do have it on a timer, and again remember the tank is in a somewhat chilly basement so would I need to compensate? I think he is just fine, but I wouldn't want him to get burned.
