Baby Fish Kills an Adult Fish

**Update: before you guys comment, I would like you to know that I did not have much knowledge about fish at that time. That was around 3 years ago. Now I do, and I have got 3 fish tanks and I can tell when my fish are ok and when they are not. And if they are not, most of the time I succeed in treating them the right way.

So, be cool, like a fish in a pool ! And do not misjudge people! :)

This baby fish is a little more than 2 months old. I released it with another 2 babies in the tank about 6 days ago. The next day I saw this baby killer biting that big fish, thought it was cleaning it or playing or something..The next day I found the big fish's skin torn up almost everywhere on its body, a day later it died..!!

I made sure all the fish I bought from the fish shop were peaceful and able to live together, though!

I put the baby fish back in the breeding net..

Sorry for the low quality video (mobile phone camera).

I'm sorry to be reading all these negative comments. Every amateur fish owner has made some kind of mistake in the past, whether it's temperature, water nitrates, fish incompatibility, or just about ANYTHING. I've got seven tanks at the moment with well kept, healthy fish but I sure didn't start out knowing everything about feed and meticulous water quality. We've all been mistaken at some point- this well intentioned uploader just had the nerve to spark the wrath of the youtube fish police.

@Alltheshinylights Lol @ youtube fish police, that made me laugh! Well, thanks for your comment. What yuo said is totally true, and I've got 4 tanks now: 3 for fish (one of them used for guppy breeding) and the forth one is for apple snails and baby guppies until they grow up. Oh and yesterday I moved a big sick catfish to a bucket (didn't have anything else to put it in) and was able to arrange a source of heat and oxygen in addition to medication to treat it.

@Alltheshinylights It's in a bad shape a bit, and I didn't wana lose it, I've had it for almost a year now and it's grown from a couple of inches (~4.5cm) long to more than 12 inches (~35cm) long! I've treated fish before and succeeded, but I've never claimed I'm a professional ! Still learning, and still trying to improve my tanks so that the fish can find the best environment possible, and I can show the most of my tanks' beauty!

[Primavera83]

@TheSpiritSai FYI, that video was uploaded 3 YEARS AGO. I'm sorry, I didn't hear you. Did you call me stupid?! And, that molly wasn't pregnant.

[boredlolz1]

LOL so you 28 yrs and have 3 fish tanks and you call your self a pro? :P I am 14 with 5 fish tanks and all of them have breeding pairs accept one because it holds my 50 babies :D and I am not a pro!

[Primavera83]

@boredlolz1 Where exactly did I call myself a pro, kido??!!

[wolvid]

@Primavera83 You don't have to answer to the kids like him. I'm even sure that if he really have 5 fish tanks it's his dad's tank... I'm glad you learned a lot from your experiences keep the good work!

why don't you remove the little one,when you see this?

[springloadedchicken]

so it couldn't be stopped? also there's research.. always prepare beforehand.. patience and knowledge is a virtue.. this never ends by the way... this is for not only everyone here but as reminder to myself.. i have forgotten about how nature responds.

oh stop with the negetive, every beginner makes mistakes, and people do learn from mistakes (but there are some mistakes you can't afford.)

[milkyxibalba]

um, i know this was an old video, but did you have common sense 3 years ago? maybe not and thank you for explaining. if you see something happening, it's better to solve it or USE YOUR INSTINCT instead of video-taping for youtube views. glad you "learn"

hey, but which types of fish are they? Because if they are bettas they can be really agressive among themselves and on other fish. another thing... those fish, that appeared at the time 1:39 in the video you have to keep an eye on them if they die, because when they do, they throw out a substance that can kill all the other fish in the aquarium.... just letting you know... I hope this information can help you.
