A goldfish WILL eat a cichlid!!! link to VIDEO also!

I have a 10 inch goldfish named Betty Bass. She only tries to eat the little fish when they're aclimating in the bags. So far she leaves them alone once they are swimming in the 125 gallon tank. She's so cute. She wags her tail at feeding time.

hahaha my Grandma's name is Betty Bass!!! I kid you not!! That's hillarious!

I am a new member, so I just saw this amazing video!
My three fancy goldfish eat anything that they can fit into their mouths. I bought 20 neons a while back in order to brighten up the aquarium, and the goldfish ate them all day and into the night until 19 were gone. I had one wily survivor!
So, be warned that goldfish do love a meal of fresh fish, and they enjoy hunting, too. All fish added must be larger than their (wide open) mouths.

I'm honestly not that surprised. Goldfish will attempt to eat anything they think they can swallow.
