As I sit here I am watching my 22 inch silver aro take a very close interest in the 6-7 inch bala shark that I have left in the tank with him and the tsn for the past month or so.
I have watched the tsn stalk this fish and now the aro is looking very close to snapping the bala up. He is just not sure as to whether or not he can fit the little guy in. It is very interesting to watch the hunt go on.
What is interesting to me is this I can tell the bala shark knows it is being stalked because of its movements.
It swims to the bottom only to realize that the 20 inch tsn is looking at it, just to swim back up to have the aro constantly doing the s turn and get cornered by the aro.
I was wondering what you guys find to be the favourite fish of yours to leave in with your pred's to hunt. I have left the bala in because it is a fast little fish and I want for my pred's to have a challenge.
Here is a pic of when my tsn struck one of the largest cichlids that was in the tank with them. Wish it was a better pic, but dang a tsn is fast when it hits.
last pic is down the hatch she goes!!!!!
I have taken some shots of the hunt the aro is doing and most probably won't be here for the take down or I might take out the bala and drop in some of the cichilds, since mr bala has survived the gladiator arena for so long.
I do find it real funny that the aro will come close but wont strike it seems somewhat put off from hitting the bala from the back and the bala seems to know this and is making sure its face is against the glass.
So now the ? comes to mind what kinds of fish do you like to watch your fish hunt and have their been any proposed meals that you have allowed to go free because they did so well in escaping sure death.
I could not wait here are the pics of the hunt and the hunted
and him fleeing to the other side only to realize there are baddies over there
the knife is like boy is you was smaller I would hit you
