no shit? so it would eat anything.. that is cool..

i had a pike and a some kind of a cichlid called a jaguar or something.. i fed them all kinds of shit as well.. they really liked earthworms (which most fish of decent size do).. so when it rained i would go a-worming hunting..

the coolest fish i had was a red devil - feed him goldfish and he would grab ahold of them from behind and you could watch them intake the goldfish until the skull popped off.. Well that and my butterkoferi.. bought 5 of them and 1 lived - the strongest.. put him in a tank with 5 fresh water piranha and he destroyed every last one of them..

Nice, my silver arrowana did one like that. Murdered all his tankmates and suicided. I was...upset

yeah i didn't finish the story.. the butterkoferi went into depression or shock after killing the piranha and quit eating.. he died a short time later..

You can keep the rats, but I'll have some of that soup, please.

Sadly she was one of the ones I lost due to parasites from live food.

Although I'm facinated by retics I doubt I'll be owning any. I'll handle one and all that and help anyone that has one that needs a little help with whatever but as far as owning and living with them day to day...pass.

Sucks that you lost all of the ones that you did for sure.

I had a Clown Knife that ate about $200 worth of tropical fish. I almost flushed his ass until I realized I could sell him for about $ 200.
