I have noticed a change in her behavior, she seems to not back down what so ever. When I walk up to the tank she comes right to the front checking me out. The opposite end of the tank has a plastic plant water catcher that's about 5.5" deep with a air stone to keep the guppies alive. So far she has taken no interest in them. One question...could I try other live bare feeders like mollies or platties?

I was surprised to hear that the "fish girl" at PetSmart knew about the parasites that the Reds and Goldfish carry. I ran it by her to see how much she actually knew about the fish dept. Let me know what you guys think about other feeder fish, in the mean time I'll try some 3 day old live pinkies if I can get them away from the ASF females...LOL!
you have the right idea, but it's not exactly parasites, it's an enzyme that breaks down a specific vitamin molecule. But like I said, you still know to avoid goldfish and rosies!!!
