the way you said you took its skull and microchip is hilarious, but all of your losses sucks .... sorry guys
lol, but damn, i really did like those fish, i wasn't going to be left empty handed, they were expensive

Rumble, yeah, endis do have som e hardcore teeth. But its nothing more than a pinch, unless you got a big guy, that might hurt a little more
 
cypher. How did u get just the skull of the fish. If my SH gets bigger and dies I'd like to either bring it to a taxidermist or just get its skull.. That'l be cool..

sqratch and two amen,

These are the steps i followed.

1) cut head off
2) dip in boiling water for a while to soften flesh and scales
3) use tweezers to pull/peel/tear muscle and tissue off
4) swish in the head in boiling water to remove hanging tissue and soften more
5) repeat step 3
6) do this until you are satisfied that you have skull only.

**If its a smaller fish you have to be careful, the skull is more fragile than when its alive**

Nate,

I'd be a bad man if i had an asian aro without a chip
