i kno one ever says it works but like two months ago i put a african jewel in wit my p's as food! at feeding time too! then didnt feed them that day
but to my suprise they did not eat him now he's like almost 4 inchs.
i think they think he's a weird p
but ya they dont even look at him i think its cause he bit first
and is red too.

I rely think it has to do with color .
Every fish I put in with MY P's that had -Glittery- Body they did not mess with
at first .
EXAMPLE -- Jack dempsy NO ! Green Tarer NO ! Oscer YES ! Gold Fish YES !
Green Sevrun NO ! Jewels NO! Mouse YES ! Buck Tooth NO !
Diff Size P's NO ! Elec Yellows YES ! Red Devil YES ! Exc......

It wont last forever. I had a pair of kribs and a small pleco in my mixed shoal (2 RBPs, Caribe, 2 piraya) for about 4 months and then with in a week of each other they all got eaten. With Ps its just a matter of time.

My Ps won't even touch a dark colored feeder. I got to the LPS and i have to request all orange feeders because if they give me a black/silver one it won't be eaten...weird
