and this is when I learned that the size of their head thing just isn't true when I lost a feeder goldfish, WARNING: NOT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART

Thank you sir!! I bought those goldfish as feeders then realized they were way to big and FYI if you plan on having tropical fish with your turtle then goldfish are a no no as the combined ammonia from the turtle and goldfish will kill them, so I left them in there with him and a couple feeders thinking I would keep them as pets but that day I walked outside and learned that size does not matter like the forums will tell you, if he can fit any part of the fish in his mouth then the fish is in danger, turtle owners keep that in mind. And those wondering why I didn't save the fish? The video starts literally seconds after I saw what he did and it was far past gone. It is a great vid to see how they eat though and very interesting

His pictures are cute!!! (I was scared to watch the videos!) thumbs2:

Yes while he looks cute Jill he is a killer, and not near as efficient as say an Oscar or my little Bluegill(thanks to UncleWillie for the ID)where they suck a fish down with no trace left, it takes Mortus a while and it's not very pretty. I don't blame you for not watching!! But the one that says eating or the first is him eating turtle pellets and being skiddish, it's funny actually
