Morgunda morgunda murderer

[ap110]

hi guys i recently purchased 8 neon tetra for my 40 gallon tank, and in 6 days i only have 1 left but no bodie's of my dead neons i've seached the tank and nothing, but i have noticed that my Morgunda morgunda goby has grown hugely and looks very bloated. has anyone had problems with this fish.

Im very sorry but i cant help but laugh, Morgurnda morgurnda is a very predatory fish and when you added the neons your one must have thought christmas came early. I have been keeping Morgurndas on and off for about 5 years and they never cease to amaze me just how larger foods they can manage to eat, my current biggest male can swallow a large mussel whole!!!

Anything below about 2" is food for a morgurnda, they grow to about 6 or 7 inches. Keep a eye on the forum for when the new profiles foeum opens, i have put a profile on morgurndas in there.
