Bichir Ate my Fire Eel

[guerilla 33]

When a similar size fish eat another - believe me, you will be able to tell by the massive swelling of the eater.

Sorry for the loss though

i agree, it would be obvious, check the substrate or if you have an under gravel filter might be there

 

[Lord Barium]

They do that

I think the smaller species of bichirs are not that agressive to eels. I had my Senegal bichirs with my Tiretrack eels for months now and no agression whatsoever.

wow thats pretty crazy, the bichir ate the same size fish?

I hope nothing similar ever occurs with erpetoichthys spp. I've got a full-sized peacock eel, I think it will be safe from my ropefish. Any confirmation on that swollen belly yet?
