My aba-aba is a killer. i just saw him sever a feeder fish.... i thought he would just take one or at least surface for air... but man... He took a bite on a feeder, wagged it, severed half of it's body and left out the head... the feeder is some sort of carp... i thought it was quite big for it to be swallowed. perhaps explaining why he severed it.

then i found my Chinese Hi-Fin sucker severed too... He's with a Gator, RTC, Pbass, Royal and a Silver aro. so i'm not really sure coz most of em are possible killers. Could he possibly kill any of these? they're all "fatter" than him. but he's longer. he's about the same size as my Silver Aro.

They grow pretty quick. actually, about as quick as a silver. looks like i hafta get a larger tank already. hehehe.
 
good luck with that.

I kept my aba alone after it hit like 9" or so it started doing the same things. just biting fish in half, didnt matter their size to much it still would try to bit them and take chunks out. (except the cats it left them alone)
