Lesson Learned

[Hao]

Today, my 20.5" Congicus ate my 6"-7" chunky SB Albino Senegal. I forgot to feed yesterday, since I did a waterchange. I planned on moving the senegal into another tank, since the Congicus looked like it could swallow the Senegal soon. When I went to check my tank to move my Senegal, the senegal disappeared but my Congicus had a huge buldge. The Congicus beat me to the SB Albino Senegal. I should have moved it out yesterday! I kept this SB Albino Senegal since 1", kept it for a year and 3 months. R.I.P little one. Lesson learned. Here is some pictures of the predator.

That sucks.
I've seen a lot of people recently posting that keeping extremely large bichirs with smaller ones is no problem. Hopefully you've at least provided a warning to other keepers about how much a congi can swallow.

Yeah. I noticed the Congicus got a little bigger, so I was going to move it out. Too late!
