Well I really really thought that my CK wasnt capable just yet to eat a few tetra I had. I just cant see him being able to eat them, hes really not that big yet and it your compare his mouth to the fish it just seems close to impossible but yet these tetra are disapearing and others coming up wounded by morning :confused: No carcasses or remains, not a hint of were these fish are going. I just cant see him being able to eat them. Any body got any idea how big of a fish he should be able to eat? Hes about 5 to 6 inches and gets fed very well. Maybe it isnt him at all.
 
Problem solved, last night i looked in the tank and there was a little tail fin sticking out of the CKs mouth...still gives me the willies lol I guess I was definatly wrong in thinking that those fish wouldnt fit in his mouth, very wrong. He ate what was left of them through out the night. I even fed him his normal brine shrimp and he didnt touch it, he new what he was going to eat...
 
my knife i had to get rid of because at 7 inches he was eating comet goldfish that where at least 1.5 inches.
 
Their mouth expands, so even though their mouths look small and they look "thin," they can eat pretty good size fish. What kind of Tetras are they?
 
They WERE white tip rose tetra lol theyr all gone now. Its kinda neat, I feel like hes reached a mile stone in his life ^-^ My babys growing up haha
 
get him on small pellets ..it is healthier..
