My theory would be: the fish probably knows fighting can cause tissues to be be ripped off, so they're probably waiting for this to happen then swoop in and grab a quick snack.

this has happened in my tank. My marbled con and firemouth were going at it and the marbled con got a clean hit and took off some scales. The roselines and the juvi marbles were all over the scales. LOL
Hmm could it be because of the same theory as why piranas crowd around when one attacks a foe? Think it's called swarm theory or something like it.. think they can sense a fight hahaha but not sure about the quick bite part though!
