...who is now about 2 1/2 inches;

Night Crawlers
Ghost Shrimp
Snails
Frozen Bloodworms and Daphina

Night Crawlers - by far his favorite.

Ghost Shrimp - have just been introduced. Being only a "puppy", it's funny watching the ghost shrimp turn and fend themselves, throwing Baby Buford off, then getting away .. for a while.

When I go into the fish places here in Bloomington to buy frozen foods, I always ask for, and happily receive, for free, all the trash snails out dey tanks. Baby Buford crunches up the little pond snails. He ambushes the MTS and Ramshorn leaving the shells everywhere .. like castaway chicken bones

I toss the Bloodworm in frozen, which is attacked and ripped apart. The Daphina is for the little feeder guppies that he chases around. I notice Baby Buford doing a Blue Whale on Krill routine on the Daphina...cept I see him trying to chew every couple of inches!
