Haha, that's just a crappy grow-out/holding tank, he'll be going into a much better tank don't worry 
Damnit fugu - I didn't know that, they don't look capable of eating huge fish. How can a skinny little body like that consume something it's own size? :O
So I guess I'll be seperating them tonight?
Oh Dan - I'm afraid you got the wrong person, I have never planned to make a catfish pool
And also this fish is very active, constantly moving - whereas the vampire tetra just hangs around in comparison. The tiger is a quick active little fish.
Daz - thanks - he was absolutely fine, still bright and alert in the bag. The bag felt cold to the touch even with 2 heat packs, but there were no signs of stress or anything, and he's been eating fine today. Should not be a problem getting this fish onto dead meaty stuff, he gorged himself on half a block of bloodoworms, even grabbing the ones on the bottom of the tank.

fugu - are you sure a skinny 4 inch payara could eat a fish half it's size? There are a couple of black neons and danios that t still hasn't eaten.
They were also shoaling together - seems a shame to seperate

Tfangs...are you taking your fish's with you when you move to Florida ? or are they spoken for already...... if not I'll help you pack.....
fugu - I don't really know what to do. It's either risk the 4 vamp eating this 2 inch tiger, or risk the 4 inch vamp getting eaten by a 7 inch red snakehead. That's my choice
What would you do?

Oh and was that a freak incident the payara eating a similar sized one? Or have you regularly seen them eat fish at least half their size? How big were they at the time?
