RIP RED DEVIL!!! Graphic pict

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Thanks everybody!!!

Well you see the Red devil was stressed from the torture of being stuck for an hour last night.
Predator fish can tell when another fish is weak from stress and they attack the weak one. My pacu has been raised with this mean ass red devil and actually would fight back with him. You would be surprised how mean my pacu is. He chewed ( i think ) the face off of the RD.

I think you are wrong on this one. Not even close. The humane thing was just what he did, put the fish out of his misery. The fish had NO mouth at all.

if that fish were to survive everything would regeneral completely except the mouth

it might have trouble eating but what keeper wouldnt help there fish out because it has a specific need? im certain a special diet would have fit his new disability.

A cichlid's mouth is used not only to eat, they use them pretty much as their hands (moving rocks, fighting etc.). That's like you loosing your face and your hands.
 
OMG, that's all I can say. OMG, poor fish!

I'm really sorry that you had to put the fish down (it was the right thing to do.)

A special diet? For no mouth...

They don't have prosthetic mouths for fish. He would have died slowly.

its an opinion

and majority vote doesnt make you right or me wrong

and ur point? i already CLEARLY stated that its ur opinion.

anyway everyone knows he did the right thing. that rd will slowly die on that state he found it in.
 
Sorry, that has got to suck. I'm going to have to say like some others the pacu was the cuprit.
