Cannibals

Mr Lannis says I project personality traits on our pets. I beg to differ.

Shakespeare was a misunderstood doofus.

Moghedien had no sense of self-preservation.

Minette is an aloof princess.

Hamster was a complete asshole.

Our fish are cannibalistic jerks. (They're also supremely difficult to photograph.)

These here be cannibalistic a-holes.

WHAT HAVE YOU DONE TO YOUR FRIENDS?!



So. We got tetras. And three dwarf panda cory cats. And an oto cat (small algae eater). The catfish were all utility-based choices to help keep our tank clean.

In order to do that they'd have to stop disappearing...

Seriously.

The oldest kid wanted a sunken airplane for a decoration and I didn't realize that this would transform the aquarium into the Bermuda Triangle of fish tanks...

WHERE ARE THE FISH GOING?

When I first posted of our additions a friend (hi, Sarah!) mentioned I should be ready for many, many deaths.

Well, for deaths there need to be bodies... these bad boys just vanish...

Since January 26th we're down two cory cats, the oto cat, and a cardinal tetra...

Yes. We're down four fish, but apparently up one group of cannibalistic dicks.

Gah!

    How do you eat a snail?! O.o

  2. In my tank right now there is one big snail shell with nothing living inside it. The fish knock it off whatever it was stuck to, then eat the snail out of its shell. At least I'm assuming that's what they did, since they had knocked it off before but not hurt it, but this time I found that empty shell. They had left it alone for over a month, so I thought it was safe, but apparently not. Fish are jerks.
