My Tiger shovelnose swallowed my figure eight puffer...

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Oh, well I'm relieved to hear that they arent as toxic. I read a looooooong time ago on here, someone had a freshwater Puffer that died so they threw it to some type of Catfish, which ate it and promptly died.

Sorry if I came across as a bit rude, it wasnt my intention. I wanted to get the point across that the animal husbandry at work here needs improvement, not just to spin my wheels, just looking out for the fishy friends, yaknow...
 
We all make mistakes and catfish eat anything they can fit in their mouths. Thanks for sharing.

If you think I did, please, provide a link. I don't think I did :)

I am not a guru. Now Necrocanis is and he was the one discussing the collapsible mouths of TSNs and Co. True or not, to me this is a bit of splitting hairs. Both fish have huge mouths but it can indeed be misleading with the TSN's smaller heads than RTC's but a collapsible mouth.

TSN's are on average 100x more predatory than RTCs. And they are stealth predators. Hence, the problem of needing a low profile but swallowing big prey was solved by "nature" with the collapsible mouth.
 
justarn.. do you comment on everything telling people they need to prepare with 100000000 gallon tanks for when their fish is fully grown?
