Kinda at a loss of words here - I was gone for about a week and a half and have not fed the fish. I come home to see this. My Senegal Bichir seemed to be mauled. I’m not really sure how or why. You can see his spine in the picture as well as the last bit of his tail. My guess would be someone was hungry, but I’m not really sure. When I feed them the Senegal normally eats like half the food or so, and I have no way of telling who gets the rest, so I would assume someone was hungry. What do you think?

Sorry to hear.
To me it seems more likely that the fish died and then the carcass was eaten.

What’s the full stocking? If it was eating well I doubt there were any major disease concerns, so aggression could be possible. I would just expect a bichir not to leave much left.
