They all could ripped that paraya apart and shared. A 6" tetra with a "twitchy movement" is just another way to attract bichirs.

Check water quality. For one, Payara are EXTREMELY sensitive to anything but clean water. That wouldn't take long to kill him. Then the birchirs could have finished the course. IDK for the eel though. they are not my thing. If theres no big monster lurking in your tank, and water quality is fine, then idk

Endlicheri's will eat ANYTHING....sometimes even if they cannot fit it in their mouths lol

 

[mikehagan]

honestly bichirs eat anything that can fit in their mouth. stop putting fish in there that can fit in their mouths????
