well one of mine is doing great! Feeding on bloodworms and he took a couple guppies as well. He has definitely grown a substantial amount in only 2 weeks! The other is getting very skinny and is probably going to die within the next couple of days. I don't know what else to do, I tried getting some cut up beef heart but he doesn't even acknowledge that it is there 
Any suggestions? Also, do you have any pictures of yours?

i would make sure the skinny one is alone in a net style breeder with bloodworms every six hours. make sure its a low light low traffic situation...
a net style breeder is only a few bucks and fits inside your aquarium in case you thought i was talking about something elaborate...
i just caught one in a lake it was a good size too hes getting a little chubby so i had put him on a diet of only 1 bluegill every other day since fish are cold blooded they dont have to eat as much as us but once i get him into the jumbo tank he'll be able to grow instead of get fat
