The TRUST said:Anyways I was on the phone today chatting with Neo, when I heard a loud crash and splashing in my tank, I went down to check and I was like "HOLY S#!T!!!! Li I gotta go! Something just happened!!!"
THIS HAPPENED...............
Just so u guys know, that Jack Dempsey wasn't meant to be food for the Peacock Bass, It had been living in there for a week and even my big 20" Cichla left it alone. I guess the 16" one decided to give it a shot. It was 6.5" and thick!!!! Too much to swallow. I eventually had to remove the JD and sure enough it was still alive but badly bruised.
hes scared for life 
Oscar guy said:
I was studying the crime scene and needed to take evidence. The JD wasn't moving so I thought it was dead already. I was worried for my Peacock. It was only after I removed it I found out that the JD was still alive.
BTW this Peacock may not be my biggest, but it is my most aggressive one so far. Will strike anything, including tank mates. I lost 2 9" TSNs to this guy when he was about 14", and he's 16" now. I'll try to dig out pics of those.
