I have this fat 6" indo dat that's eats like a pig. I have these algea wafer discs that's he can't fit down his throat, but can fit it in his mouth. So if you've ever owned a dog you might remember tug-a-war? And how your dog would shake its head back and forth and try to win control. Well my datnoid does this with algea wafer discs. Ill drop a big one in and he'll suck it into his mouth but he'll have to extend his mouth outward. He'll then proceed to escape a constant rampage from my parrot fish who will try to reclaim (his) food. He'll shake his head back and forth. Then my morbidly obese featherfin synodontis catfish will get curious and swim up to the top of the water line and hoard in a mass of 50 mass. Pellets into her mouth. She's like a whirlpool, she just sucks everything in. At the end I can see it nearly coming out of her pipe (she comes so close to the top her whiskers come out of the water and you REALLY get to see her mouth and teeth.) Then my parrot fish starts throwing a tantrume and he starts attacking me. He jumps out of the water (up to 6") and sucks out all the pellets. Then my big dempsey gets hilarious and tries to copy my parrot fish. He'll stick his whole extended mouth out and ill drop a pellet or two inside. Then my newly introduced giraffe catfish gets REALLY upset and swims across the tank in circles. Its weird though because my synodontis is an upside down cat, he can actually eat from the top simply by swimming upsidedown. My giraffe cat has not been similarly blessed still can't figure out how to eat from the top. I doubt he will ever learn cuz his mouth is shaped very different.

SO this all happened about 30mins ago. It happens every couple days. I can film it next time you want
me to (could take a couple days)?
