When I say 86ed I mean immediately got rid of it out of frustration . I had to do it for the first time today. You see Ive been raising this little Leporinis for a year. When I bought it he was 2'' long and it was sorta mellow. Today it WAS a healthy 6'' little killer. In the past few months it has killed and consumed 10+ corys, 8 swordtail platys, and this week alone 18 black neons (strange for a vegetarian fish). But today it crossed the line and tore into 2 of my 6 little tapajos orangehead geos. 1 of them (my dominant male) died and the other is gonna lose sight in 1 of his eyes. I was so pissed off that I immediately netted the culprit and flushed it down the toilet. I had no other tank available to put it in and had to be at work in an hour so I just did it to save my prized geos from furthur damage. Have any of you all ever taken similar measures with a fish?? Just curious as if you have it wont make me feel so bad....... I do feel horrible about it, as it was a very handsome fish.....

From the looks of that avatar I believe you!jk:ROFL:
 
This is a website where people care about fish and go to extreme extents and costs to make sure that there fish get the proper care. Now why would anybody murder their fish after all that hard work? Do you even need to ask the question if anybody has done this before?
 
never and never will.... that is sad.
 
No I have never killed or been the reason for the death or maming of over 40 fish. I may have lost a couple of fish do to improper housing, but had the common sense to get rid of the killer fish or house it in a seperate tank. It did not take me a couple of months and the deaths of near 40 fish to figure this out.
 
I would never kill a fish or anything for that mater, for doing what is natural. I have never done this nor will I ever. It was your own fault for mixing it with fish that you didn't want it to attack. that is poor fish keeping and animal abuse.
