little different from a fish being gulped down than being torn apart by a piranhas, so you have never feed ur piranhas live food??????? it is funny, things happens. I laugh stuff off in life i dont have a peice of driftwood shoved up my a** and bombard into others ppls post with a bunch of bull just to make themselves feel better than anyone else. Get off your high horses and keep your crap to yourself!!!!!!!!! theres lots of tree huggin posts on other forums!!!! Im in the PREDITOR FISH hobby here!!

When did feeders get brought into the conversation? This is the equivalent of me attempting to keep a tankmate in my piranha tanks (pacu, silver dollar, pleco, etc etc) NOT a $200 feeder. Nobody's even talking about morals of feeder fish and are you implying you meant for this fish to be food? You missed my whole point anyways......you're on a fish keeping site laughing about your fish getting killed in a situation that most people would consider foolish to try.

Would you go to say....a parenting site and laugh about a miscarriage because you went on rides at the country fair? What's the difference other then human life...once again you knew the risk and most people would consider it foolish but you thought the risk was worth the joy right? It can't happen to me right?

It's all in the attitude buddy, lil too "devil may care" or "i laugh at funerals"

Gotta love when people use the "feeder" excuse to justify their own irresponsible fish keeping. But I guess if you knew the gar could be eaten and ya just didn't care then it's cool. I do the same with schools of tetras in my 450g. If ya knew it could be eaten and did care, but hoped it wouldn't. We'll then that is not very responsible.
 
kinda hard to keep the positive attitude that i started out with once ppl start flacking just because 1 fish happened to get ate sorry if that offened anyone but these things do and can happen. The Gar is a common tankmate with a TSN's all over the forum. /Yes its a risk but id rather take that small risk that it was than rather stuff it into my 90gal were it would become stunted!!! these are good sized fish and need room to properly grow so i was supplying this enviroment for my Gars! I also have a pool sitting at the US/CAN boarder right now solely for the TSN as its time for bigger for him til my ply tank is done.just picking it up next week when i go to visit family!!! This thread was never ever ntended to offend anyone!!!!
 
oh hun u just missed the point everyne was making. it wasnt the fact it happened, we have all had something similar happen, its just the fact u thought it was funny.
not neccesarily a good thing to do on a site where people love fish.
everyone has read the posts and hence why they are putting these views up.
ur free to express ur views so we r too.
ur aggressive reaction then makes people think u have just done it for a laugh.
hopefully u will understand that now.

I just wana say, hate it when that happens. nothing like the feeling of #%&&#$^& you fish, i hope it tasted good cuz it cost me a days work lol. And lighten the **** up ppl. FISH eat FISH, we eat everything that moves. its life. i had a RTC that ate 36 goldfish a day or 2 rats a wk. and i loved watching him eat. we"ve all watched lions eat zebras on tv so obviously animals eating other animals is entertaining to lots of ppl. when he said haha im sure he didnt think it was hillarious.. more likely laughing at him self not the fact that his expensive loved fish was unexpectedly eaten. when i first red the post i didnt think the gar would fit it its mouth. catfish have decievingly large mouths and its a regretful mistake just about any large catfish keeper has made. so if yur a vegitarian, get out of the meat section.

thanks BIOHAZ ya ppl dont read all of a post, pretty well if they have a rude comment they already know what there gonna say before they even read it all first!!! Im not askin for any sympathy here just sharing a funny story (thats why i buy 2 of everything 2xnigers 2xTSN. 2xRTC 2xMBU's,2xCK's 2xMotoro's, etc had 2x F Gars ) If a guy dont risk anything better not buy any fish cause they could die for many reasons!!!!

yup hey looked pretty FULL !! must of folded the gar in half or something the one side of his belly was quite larger than the other side ha ha

Ha Ha it finally happened first time ever tho, so it was a matter of time i guess my 24" TSN ate a 12" Flordia Gar sometime before i got home from work tonight!!! at least it was the smaller gar of the pair i had. He has never bothered a single tankmate prior to this. Expensive snack lol

Are you reading the same thread we are? Can't be. Nobody's debating about feeder fish or the food chain but i'm done beating a dead horse

At any rate, you are the one that initially jumped on the thread with the condescending comment that contributed nothing to the discussion. I'm still betting you didn't even read the thread before you submitted your first snippet of wisdom.
