What's the most grusome death one of your fish has suffered?

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Had a weird one the other week, found a cherry barb that had been eaten by a larger tetra. But the kicker was that the tail of the cherry was sticking out of the barb like it passed through without getting digested. Cherry and tetra both had both bought it, but it looked like the tetra had 2 tales when I found it - had to look several times to make sure I wasn't seeing things. And no I hadn't been drinking...



That's a weird one. It happens sometimes when a fish eats a nearly same-sized fish headfirst that the tail sticks out of the mouth and the upper body is digested, but I've never heard of a fish passing part of the other fish undigested.
Someone on here a looong time ago, like before I joined, had some kind of Shovelnose Catfish get swallowed headfirst and then regurgitated, and the entire head area was digested and white-ish, while the midsection and tail area were completely intact.
 
I kept two red bellied piranha together, came in one day to find one of them floating on the top. His whole back had been eaten away, and his spine was sticking out of his back.

Yea 3 or more rbp is always suggested i have 5 and some times they try and kill eachother but atleast aggression is spread out!


Well recently my 7-8" lg crawfish jumped outta my 90gal in my room and somehow found a crack in my ac vent and fell 20-25' straight to the basement hvac system, still figuring how im going to get the carcus out!

yeah i heard even #s of rbps i an accident waiting to happen, especially keeping 2. anyway that was back in '10 when i was a beginner. But I'm still learning
 
Stupidly I kept a couple Goldfish with an Angelfish pair, temporarily until I could give them to a friend, since my other tank had busted. The ones that got attacked were the two Black Moors. The smaller one had no fins, none and both eyes were completley gone. He was still alive, swimming around and it was so creepy watching him. I put him out of his misery a few minutes after I found him. The other one had no fins either but had both eyes, though one was milky and bloody. I kept him alive and he actually pulled through even though that eye fell out. Still have him too ;)

The male Angelfish out of that pair also got beat up severely by the female and I thought he'd die. Lived for another year before she did him him. She was hateful. lol

My poly sen randomly decided to attempt eating my bgk. My gf had to witness the whole thing, the sen had him by the head and drug him across the tank twice before i was able to get them separated. Got the bgk in my qt tank but the poor guy died an hour later.

ouch! I'm still always watching my CK, he's 20" in my tank and I'm surprized he hasn't gone for the smallest goldfish that's 5"
 
Just last night I got home from work late and saw a white fin sticking out from under a rock. Turns out it was my 6" male albino BN pleco. He was apparently cleaning the base of the rock, which is where my male Jag has been digging and the rock(about 20lbs) settled on him while he was under there. Squished pleco=no good.

I always got luck of finding Pleco's with the Stomachs torn to shreds or the skeleton remaining :l
