Discus are cichlids and they will take an easy meal if they can. Don't feel bad. At least you know your fish is well fed.

[oscar300]

[davo]

im not suprised to here this. i dont think its special, but hes not evil

[koliveira]

[fishnthings]

[koliveira]

It's a bad pic I'll try to get new ones soon!

[koliveira]

Oh yeah its a 240 uniaquarium! so its 180g of vissible water!

[limz_777]

if it fits in the mouth , its a feeder, a golden rule in a predatory kingdom

Not evil, some discus do eat tetras. Happened to my neighbour's discus, ate all the tetras. Nice tank :thumbsup:

[Fry]

try livebearers, they're bigger and won't be eaten, when they have fry (which is often) your discus will get some live treats

[koliveira]

:ROFL: I don't really think he's evil. The guy is really friendly to other discus...No small cardinals.... maybe some neons...LOL:ROFL:

They barely fit in his mouth! Its kind of cute watching him chase them down!!! I have been throwing white clouds in lately and he chases them with the same gusto:)

this is nature of discus,
it's carnivorus,
the bigger fish eat the smaller fish.

[shekes]

I keep quite a few discus with Cardinals and none ever ate any. However, your discus looks mean like a convicted serial killer and should be treated as such.
Some of my discus manage to eat beefheart streeps up to 1/2" long but a grown Cardinal is unthinkable. Did you show him any movies with some serious deepthroat action?

[SimmonM]

My cardinals started out as a school of 18 and has been reduced to 3 currently. I have yet to actually see any of my discus eat any but they are devouring them! What I find funny is that my discus are *very* well feed and I have no idea how these things are fitting in their mouth.

[baowow]

you must have not feed them.

[AquataHolic420]

i like the way u think predatory kingdom///:popcorn:

[monsterdiscus]

discus r known to to eat tetras, in the wild so were found eating them
