Bit of a scare this morning

[aquadonkey]

So, I was feeding my fish this morning and they seemed quite hungry because I missed the evening feeding yesterday (I feed twice a day). The YWG was being particularly ferocious and all of the sudden my poor little neon goby was in the YWG's mouth - down to the tail! The neon was quickly spit out, but I definitely screamed!
Now everything is back to normal - Fidget (the neon) is fidgeting around the tank, even right near the YWG - as if to say "Oh no dear, it's quite all right, it really was my fault for being so close to that piece of food."

Oh dear - this hobby is going to give me a heart attack.

Drink a beer and rent "The Lion King". It's the circle of life :fun4:

Why do i all the sudden feel like finishing off a 6 pack?

 

[superkat]

ummm...not sure J....do you have fish eating each other in your tank????

 

[jdoenumber2]

No but im getting hungry. My tang would be a good. lol. You always take chances with con-specific fish. Especially when one fits comfortable within another's mouth.

 

[superkat]

truer words were never spoken...poor lizzy....

This past month i lost a Pseudocheilinus ocellatus to a Pseudocheilinus hexataenia which was half the size. Careful of similar body shapes with certain species too.

So that's where all the neons go!

"HEY! GET THE CAMERA! THIS IS COOL!"
