fry eating another fry?!?!

[guppy97]

hi, just yesterday i was feeding my frys and then i noticed a head of a fry floating around the breeders net. i don't know the cause of the death but i'm guessing that the other frys attacked him and chewed his body up. i feed them regularly and this never happened in the past. another guess is that it died and then the other frys took advanage of a good tasteful dead fry.

hummm are they the same age? cuz if they have size differences may cuz bullying... ( i oberserved them of half an hour) but eat them thats wierd.... i have 30 fry in my breeding net now ,only 8 of them are 5 weeks old and rests are only about a week and i haven't seen any fry got eaten so far.

they're all from the same drop. maybe it was going to die and when it did, the others ate him.

hehehe you must have picky fry.

Both of the possible fry outcomes could of happend. It was prob a fry which was weak and the runt of the pack.
