October 14, 200817 yr comment_267839 My absolute favorite pair of fish. Both dead and over a 100 three day old fry missing. Report
October 14, 200817 yr comment_267840 Gutted man Is it like what it looks like and the male attempted to eat the female and choked? Report
October 14, 200817 yr comment_267843 Oh man that really sucks!! It's amazing what a fish can get in their mouth when they really want to. I have had that happen before but not with a pair. Report
October 14, 200817 yr comment_267846 "Bugger" what a real shame , what type of dwarf were they ? Report
October 14, 200817 yr comment_267852 Yikes! See pics like that all the time on MFK, big catfish with aroawanas or knife fish hanging out their mouths, only recently someone lost a 12" endli bichir when it choked on a big convict. Odd to see the male trying to eat the female though! Report
October 14, 200817 yr comment_267866 Aww thats a shame, wonder why he did that.. sorry for your loss. Yikes! See pics like that all the time on MFK, big catfish with aroawanas or knife fish hanging out their mouths, only recently someone lost a 12" endli bichir when it choked on a big convict. Odd to see the male trying to eat the female though! I found my male betta with a neon sticking out of his mouth just recently.. I was mortified! I think the tetra had died beforehand though and the betta just decided to take the opportunity to chow down on some neon. He didn't get very far though.. Report
October 14, 200817 yr comment_267872 Aw, that sucks! You think he's eaten the fry too, or because she's been eaten, the fry have been gobbled up by something else in the tank? Report
October 14, 200817 yr Author comment_267910 Him last week I found a few fry in the tank but only maybe 10 left. tank is / was a breeding tank and no other fish in there. My thoery is that he started to hoover up the fry and mum tried to get them out of his mouth. I dont realy know but end result is the same. Report
October 14, 200817 yr comment_267921 Glad some of the fry survived at least its some sort of bonus.. When I kept my male and female together he ate most the fry too so as soon as they breed he's out now. I have never seen a cockatoo attempt anything like that who knows what happened? Report
October 15, 200817 yr comment_267989 Thats a real bummer Bilbo! That is bizzare, never seen that happen before myself. At least youve got some fry remaining. Guard them well. Report
October 15, 200817 yr comment_268000 Sorry for your loss Bilbo I'd never seen it before either Report
