I'm sitting at my desk when I hear a commotion. I look over and my 6" NGT and 11" Barramundi are facing off a bit. The NGT goes for the Barramundi and what seemed like a split second, the barramundi hit the NGT in the face. Game over :(. I separated them, but the NGT never made it back.

The victim and the culprit (note how messed the face is after a split second strike):

The shot looked pretty hard, but nothing crazy....I'm surprised as heck too :(. The eye was scraped and the nose had some superficial scratching, but that was it.
 
Sort of....It was a pre-market fish. There's a place that distributes these fish to the local markets. That's where it came from. The market fish I see are always half dead. Gave this one a fighting chance, and see how I'm rewarded? LOL.

OUCH! So you paid about $8-10 for the Barramundi and it killed your $$?? NGT? :(

Yup....You got it :(. Can't blame the fish though....Nature is nature. The NGT had his favorite spot in the tank and chased anyone who came near, including the barra and gouramis. Everyone else for the most part keeps to themselves. I guess the barra woke up on the wrong side of the tank this morning and came out fighting.
