Ok. Sorry for your loss. I didn't think you would have done that. Well, I guess the Paroon won't have to be fed for awile. At least it wasn't your Goliath- thank God.

That was the reason behind the test.... :thumbsup:

Good news though is that the other Forskalli is chillen w/the Vittatus's. The Vittatus seems to know he's an ATF but not part of pack....pretty interesting to observe.
 
R1 don't you think it's pretty weird that the tig caught the ATF? Tigs are half blind, atf are usually very quick and active. Do you think it was asleep or something?

How big is the tig and how big was the ATF?

And do you have any shots of the G? :D

After thinking about it I really doubt it was the TIG who first caught him. I believe the true culprit was the Black Aro. After he realized he could not eat him he spit him out and then he sank to the bottom. His tail end was severly messed up. That's when the Tig attacked and that's what woke up to.

Yes, you are correct... ATF's are way to fast for TIGS to catch. Tigs are more ambush and the fish would have to literally swim right in front of the TIG.

Pix's of the GATF will be soon =-) ..... have some few arrangments I still have to make in my tank.......


BTW - I believe the only reason my Tig did try to eat the ATF was because I've cut back on my feedings lately. They are content on shrimp & beefheart. They usually leave feeders alone, but when your hungry anything is game...=-)

My ATF's are on a regulated diet at the moment and am power feeding my GATF to try to add some girth to him.
 
Also, remember the Tig may not be able to see that well, but once the lights turn off and it is dark the Tig is the one who see's better. ATF's and most other fish have very poor eyesight at night. The Tig and other cats use their whiskers to sense and find prey. If another fish will fit inside his mouth, sooner or later it will end up there.
