Can you believe the size vampire tetras grow to in the wild,
they may be interesting fish for experienced fishkeepers to keep,
but I don't think there is many that would keep a specimen like this ...

I've had it on an old photobucket account for about 3 years now
I can't remember exactly where I got it.
I trust you didn't think that was me in the pic.:hmm3grin2orange:

Would a sinking leg of lamb be sufficient?

Nice share! :)

Why wouldn't hand feeding be an option? That fish would certainly enjoy a hand for dinner...

That would add a whole new meaning to the phrase 'finger food'.:hmm3grin2orange:

I finally decided that I want the next tank to be for Tetras. But that particular type won't be included. I had no idea Tetras could be so different!
