Feeding video
Sorry about the noisy filter.

What a lovely video! No rats being thrown into piranha tanks...no Tigerfish vs. Channa grudge matches...no netfuls of goldfish being tossed into "predator communities"...no competitions to see whose Gulper Cat can swallow the biggest tankmate...
Instead, a peaceful and relaxing portrayal of a true predator capturing its prey just as it would in nature. No crazy distracting music either; Hell,

even apologized for the hummmmm of the filter, even though that actually added to the hypnotic effect of the whole video. 
We sometimes forget that a one-inch fish catching and eating near-microscopic living organisms is still a predator in every sense of the word. That bit near the end of the video, where the pipefish targeted a food item and lunged forward, probably a distance of a whole inch...was every bit as exciting and much more exciting to a true aquarist or other nature-lover IMHO as any gory staged battle-royale.
If the Buddha were to set up a "predator" aquarium...this is exactly what it would look like.
