Not to get off the subject, but what's up wit dat. I'm so worried Big Show's gonna lose to Mayweather. WWE's been on a kick lately with underdogs lately. Now I'm all for the small guy winning seein as I'm 5'7" and kinda smallish like 220lbs. Alright I'm just vertically challenged but not horizontally. Anyway It's gotta be believable. An I don't think Mayweather would stand a chance against the Show less he was drivin a Mack truck. I mean sure he's a great fighter, but Show's got height=reach, weight=leverage and power. If Show was smart he'd just fall on Mayweather sorry to say but almost 500lbs fallin on anyone would be enuff ta knock the wind outta anybody. An If Shows on top of Mayweather lest he can bench nearly 500lbs that would be the end of Mayweathers money makin days.

HOLY COW@!!!!!!! WOWZERS, can't believe a 3 inch gulper could even do that. I thought gulpers were slow and all? Aros are fast...........I wonder why your gulper doesn't eat its other buddies in the tank?
The shape of the fish play a part in prey selection. The other cats have spiny fins & the pectorals & dorsal fins present a problem swallowing(at least for now) The leich have no such defenses.I have also found cylindrical shape fish are easier targets & for some reason in tanks with contrasting back drops silver fish stick out like a bullseye. sorry for your loss.

Exactly what I realized too late. The Aro was just too skinny while all my other fish are just as wide as the Gulpers which would make it hard for them to swallow. Should have realized that sooner. Plus the Aro is a mid/upper water fish I think it's hard for a Gulper to attack anything lower than they are. With that upturned mouth they'd have to at a completly vertical position searchi for prey to catch one of the cats. While the Aro probably nearly ran into the Gulpers mouth. I still plan on attemptin to keep the 2 fish together in the future but the Arowana will be around 12-14 inches next time. They seem to get more deep bodied at that size. Well I'll see cause I'm gonna grow out the Arowana and make sure it can't fit in the Gulpers mouth. Last time I knew he could fit in the Gulpers mouth, but figure the Aro's length would prevent it's being eaten. How wrong I was.
