I bought an algie eater a couple weeks ago and was very happy, he was healthy happy and did his job great. The fish every once in a while would pick on him, but I would just feed them when I saw that happening to distract them, we feed every other day. Then yesterday I realised he was laying on the bottom of the tank, nothing left but his back bone and his head. My other fish had eaten him, the poor thing. :shock: So now I'm out an algie eater and weary to buy another one *sigh* mean canibal fish.

No, these fish were eating one another alive, they were all types of gold and fancy fish and we could watch them eat the other fishes tails then slowly work their way up that fishes body while the poor thing was still trying to swim. We were down to three when to rottweiler got excited oneday while we were out, jumped up on the stand to see out the window and knocked down the tank, so we lost all the fish that day. We haven't had any since, my fish experiance was not a good one, not sure I would want to try it again.The reason dogs are great is they wag their tails, not their tongues.

Yes, this is very true; if you don't match social fish, they will begin to fight to the death. Betta's are great examples of this, they always will fight with even eachother, so never put bettas in with other fish, because they are not social... At ALL! We, when first raising fish, put our betta in with our other fish, and our betta killed almost all the rest of the fish.
