My eyes aren't great..I didn't see them till just now when I put a kelberi I just bought in the tank and he got him by the tail .. I took a closer look .. this guy is serious
**** .. I'm having a bad fish day here..I just tried to put the wallago in my 300 gal and my Korean perch tried to swallow him and there is no way he could have.. really dumb .. so now the wallago is in bad shape.. I rescued him but he got ransacked for a little bit
That could have been expected, I think. If your perch is like any other, they grow firmly accustomed to you throwing food in their tank so whatever you throw in there, to them it's gotta be 100% food. The perch was dismayed and thought "Well, that was really dumb to give me this tasty but huge item. I can't swallow it! What do you think you are doing, man!?"
That perch will not switch off live and from what I see they are pretty aggressive fish.. I don't think.i feed him enough because I want him to eat frozen stuff and he won't.. that perch fights with my Aba Aba and has gotten the better of him.. I've also seen him put my polys head in his mouth pick him up and spit his butt out of his cave..the poly is like 16 inches the perch is maybe 9-10 inchThat could have been expected, I think.

Well that Aba Aba will turn tides on the perch soon. But yea ur perch should be able to be broken off of live. It’ll take some time but for now make sure ur wallago is alright.
TBTB is right about the perch and live food. Wait till the other fish get bigger and I’m sure it’ll tolerate work out eventually.

I have got him to take a silverside but he spits them out.. maybe eventually he will .. but not a bad idea.. it's just that if he doesn't eat it and I have to try to scoop it out my one tiger fish doesn't like me putting any kind of net or apparatus in the tank.. He is ok with siphon tubes that are clear but nothing else really
