A spotted ralph has a small max size and a very slow growth rate so I was wondering will a Lima be able to eat it? or will the raph's armor help it from becoming lunch?
lunch for a Lima?

from my experiences with limas they aren't as aggressive as u'd think. mine is 15" and won't even eat feeder comets. but if u do have an unusually hungry one the armor will definitely help keep it from getting eaten. how big of a lima and how big of a raphael are we talking? if it's a real tiny raphael there's a possibility but if u make sure u'r lima never goes hungry i doubt much will happen especially if u have hiding places for your lil guy since u'll rarely see em come out.
O just remembered that when I got the lima from the LFS, it got stuck to the net so the guy cut the net and there is a piece of netting on it. Should i take it off? if yes how?
it would be a good idea cuz the net isn't biodegratable. it's hard but you need to catch the fish again in something other than a net. i suggest a plastic container or the like. carefully get ahold of the guy and gently cut the net away with a super sharp utility knife or exacto blade. but be real careful.
while after a long careful and sweaty cutting I got the net off, BUT I found out that its fin (the bone or spike part) is split in two
. Will this be permanent (most likely yes)? And if yes, will this affect it (swimming wise behavior wise, future injuries, etc)?
