That's disturbing new info. Many thanks for chiming in, Jeff. IDK if you know it or not, but I found at least half a dozen of fish dead in my 4500 gal with no sign of struggle, not so much as a scratch, but with their tummy completely surgically removed with precise bites. I always thought my vultures have done it post mortum. With your new info, my surety lessens.

Examples, including before and after:

Found this. Maybe it has to do with the size/maturity?
Great find! Great homework, mate!

What a well written piece.

My surety of their innocence has lessened yet more. Albeit the author didn't say what size tank he kept them in.

IDK what to tell you, bud. You know my experience in 4500 gal and what Jeff and this new author say, makes me uneasy, if not queasy... So many precious fish are in with them in that 4500 gal.
