So, me and my family is having dinner. I hear some commotion in my tank in the living room, and I go to look....... My 7 inch bellycrawler is being the rope in a tug of war battle with my 2 13 inch pacus. 
He has been with these tankmates since he was about 2 inches. As I look in shock my 5 year old runs to the tank and is like "are they having the pike for dinner dad?" My heart just sank, then he was split in 2 pieces and I couldn't watch anymore. I was going to get my camera to take a pict of this gruesome tug of war, but I sat there in disbelief. So I turned the tank light off and walked away. His personality has grown on me so much, and he always had enough spunk to fight away other fish that got near his driftwood. I guess the pacus got their way, cuz none of the other fish paid attention to what was going on. Maybe he was just too small. Anyways, I just had to vent. So pissed now that I will start another tank dedicated to a Crenicichla...........

I truly feel for you bro....I know you are as passionate as I am and probably mourning...The pike probably went out like a 'G'......
