Video !!!! im lucky to give you this blurry still of one of my predatory fishes, The Ctenopoma acutirostre, Rose wil be happy to hear that They are related to the ever popular Betta Fish (
Betta splendens). (And you thought id never have a betta) lol. They need plenty of room to hide out and live happily. They are carnivorous fish who love to stalk their prey, holding themselves completely vertical, bending their caudal fin to look like a leaf, before going in for a kill. Just before a kill, they open their mouth creating a cylinder type funnel and swallows the prey whole. However , so i wont get a thrashing from the "Never feed live food Crowd"

mine enjoys a diet of small sinking cichlid pellets, spirulina brine, blood worms, white mosquito larvae, etc. and is very thankful to get it. LOL
