P-Bass eating P-Bass

[Idealconcepts]

Took this picture over a year ago from my first batch of P-bass, bought 4 or 5total. The others died and only 1 ended up surviving since the other two got into an disagreement on who could fit in who's mouth. The next day I found both of them dead. I still have the lone surviver and he is on pellets, and ended up getting another another few to go with them. Growing them slowly so I can replace my 300gal with something larger.

Nope, usually when I first start out with a new type of fish I go the cheaper route. They were around $10-$15 each.

I think you are correct, that might have been my first Tem that tried to eat the other P-bass, which did cost me like $30. Oh well, got another one really cheap and eating pretty well.

Pbass will certainly try to eat anything they think will fit into their mouths.
