Predator? What type do you have?

[DMD123]

The definition of predator: an organism that lives by preying on other organisms.

With that definition in mind, do you have a "Predator"? Something that eats other things? Even a Convict could be a predator... So what do you have?

I want a snakehead sometime in my life. Some of those video's on youtube are killer!

 

[DMD123]

The snakehead snapping the 10" bass in half on youtube is one of my favorite.

 

[DMD123]

I dont really consider my 10" Midas a predator but I have lost a couple fish that I knew were too small when I added them as tankmates.

A fish I have been totally intrigued by lately have been puffers. These guys seem all easygoing and peaceful but they are little monsters that tear their meals to pieces. If I can sneak another tank in I might consider getting one.

Those things are just freaky!

Vampire tetras are cool but they are pretty frail though. I like african tigerfish better.

tiger fish!

A Sunfish. His color doesn't photograph well, and he has more blue now.

 

[DMD123]

Nice Sunfish! Many native fish have very nice coloration but tricky to catch it in a picture.

if i thought they could handle the hot water id try to put a bass in my tank, but its too hot I think. Maybe too crowded too...

Prickly sculpin...native

she lurks allot and is more of an ambush predator but is so awesome to watch her eat an almost 2 inch convict..

though she is fat and lazy now and ignores feeders...and begs for pellets..soon as she sees the pellet and my hand over the water she tweaks and throws her self at my hand ..its startling lol.

and a good color shot of Fyurae's sunfish when i had him in my out side tank

Nice pics Kaosu!

 

[DMD123]

Kaosu, have always enjoyed seeing pics of the native Sculpin you raise. And I voted for your picture for the POTM. I thought it was a pretty cool pic.

That picture of the Sunfish really shows it off.

 

[Kaosu]

Nice pics Kaosu! Smile

I remember going fishing with my dad and we would see all these little baby Sculpin darting around in some of the shallow pools. Never thought to bring any home. Very cool little fish. Closest thing I had to one was a bumble bee goby.

How old is yours and what is the expected lifespan?

mm she is almost 2 years old now, from every thing I have read in the wild they can reach 7 years, but its not really documented in a tank setting so im guessing 10+.
