I wonder why we never questioned this in the past. They nip at each others fins,sometimes holding on taking a ride. The constant nipping does more damage than the bite and hold method lol
Bite force overrated?

When I had my 18” endli. It couldnt bite through four inch SD. I posted a pic here. It would hold them long enough though and bite over and over to where stress would kill them.
I think it comes down to their teeth, the curupira went through the SD like nothing but wolves teeth are really sharp.
I've had good luck getting death rolls using large earthworms. they do the tug o war thing then get to rolling.
No there jaws arent like the aliens exactly

Polypterus possess a rudimentary pharyngeal food processing structure, having teeth in their branchial arches, primarily the fourth. This isn't a full pharyngeal jaw such as is seen in morays, but rather a step toward the evolution of the pharyngeal plates found in most teleosts. It is an interesting physiological adaptation that reminds us that these fish truly are an ancient lineage that has managed to survive to modern times.
