Title: More than one bite

I had some young demasoni that I added back into the tank a month or so ago. They were around the 1 inch mark, maybe a little less, but I have so many demasoni already that I just decided to put them in and let them fend for themselves.
Everything had been going fine for them. Lots of hiding places, but always out in the open anyway.
Well, this morning, my big female L. caeruleus decided to make a meal out of one.
And then my big female greshakei decided she wanted it too, and stole it away.
Of course whoever has it is being chased all around the tank because everybody wants a piece. Why you little..

Great pics, Aura!
That's unfortunate that they decided to make a meal
out of your demasoni.
How many demasoni do you have left now?

Ouch, Aura...That sucks!
You know, we recenlty had someone post over on CF where their fish tried to eat a smaller fish and it got stuck in the mouth, and the member had to pull the fish from the tank and forcibly remove it!
Hope this one is easily digested, and I hope the other little demasoni learn to hide...Really well!
It reminds me of the morning I found bits and pieces of all my little White tops everywhere, mostly tails and heads with the bodies missing!

I hope whoever ended up with it doesn't suffer any ill effects. I thought about trying to take it away, but there is so much rock in that tank that there was no way I'd be successful.
There are at least 30 demasoni in that tank so there's no shortage. I still feel sorry for the little guy though. What an awful way to go.

I hear you that the worst part is that when something goes wronmg we blame ourselves. But when we do 100 things that extend fishes lives and add to the quality of life they experience we never give ourselves credit!
And I write this on the day I finally had time (and the tank cleared) to move my Demasoni into the 40G with four Yellow Labs.
I keep watching them nervously, but they seem do be doing fine apart from the usual "Calm? Calm??? How can you expect me to be calm when you take out all the rocks in my tank, put me in a bucket, add different tasting water to the bucket over and over and over again, then dump me into a new tank? Would YOU be calm, bucko???"
