Asian Featherback Kills for Fun

[wintervixen]

Is this a normal trait? Once he's filled up, he goes on a killing rampage killing any leftover live feeders. I need to ration his food to avoid the unnecessary killing!

 

[santoury]

you're overfeeding anyway, so...

But yes, many fish do this. Esp. cichlids and snakeheads.

I knew cichlids kill for fun, but not knives. wow.

 

[deangelo]

me too my CK actually is an ambush predator, he doesn't even chase the feeders he just waits and lurks...

Are you sure it's just not stuffing itself and then puking it up?

 

[wintervixen]

Ben, you may be right. He's greedy little bugger, I must admit. Several dead bodies floating overnight!
