anyone have this happen?....I decided I didnt want my 5 stupid annoying tiger barbs anymore in my 50 gallon wussy community tank...since nobody would take them off my hands I decided to throw them into my 125 tank for some "oscar snacks".....those little bastards are still alive 2 weeks later! my oscars eat feeders like they are going out of style but the stupid barbs, nothing....

I had the same thing happen with a mean-ass paradise fish. he was killing all my other fish in my community, so I put him in with my 8" red eared slider and 6" common snapping turtle. He lasted over a month!
My dad also had this happen with a pearl gurami. he put it in with 5-6" rb piranha and it lasted about 3 weeks. He said one day he heard a splash and when he looked in the tank, the gurami had its face bitten off, and the RBPs were swimming around innocently

I think mean fish (and apparently turtles 0_o) just have a respect for other mean fish.
