It's absolutely gorgeous!
Let me guess, it stopped caring about the guppies? xD

He is quite the gentle specimen, never bothered the guppies, there were 2or 3 fry that came along the driftwood from one of my guppy drums, and they grew and started a family in the barca tank. There was one fry,that kept cleaning the barcas face, eating the detritus that used to be there. Gotta find that video

That's odd, what is their natural diet, insectivore? Surely a piscivore no? Maybe the guppy's resemble a poisonous fish to them?

They are insectivore, they would also eat any freshwater crustaceans, such as crabs,shrimos,crayfish.
