My 6.5 inch Azul ate a 5 inch cuda...Crazy!

I found a 5 in red tail barricuda yesterday at a LFS and thought it would go well w/ my cichla grow outs in my 230. I was WRONG! Even though it was bigger than my baby mono and kelberi, it didnt last an hour. I almost wonder if the silvery shimmering coloration was too much of a trigger. The bass never attacks the smaller cichla, but I took my kelberi out just in case and threw him in w/ my guyanna occelris grow outs for now. Here are some pics of the digestion....

I'm going to buy another smaller red tail cuda and put it in a smaller tank.

You can't go by length Einsteins. Would it be hard for you to swallow a 6 foot noodle! If it can fit in the mouth, then chances are it will get eaten, not rocket science.

That answers that question. I gues I wont combine those two tanks. Cudas are hard to get off live, much harder than bass.

I'm going to get a smaller one and I moved my kelberi to be safe.
