Discussion Fishy Horrors

Okay, so... today I heard my teacher talk about his fish. He has this big tank in his classroom that he raises fish in (though there are only 4 little fish now... he offered to give them to me along with a tank, but my mom firmly refused ).

When his daughters were young, they each got a goldfish. The big-eyed kind. The two goldfish were named "Happy" and "Lucky".

After a while, the two goldfish got too big for their 10 gal tanks, and his daughters asked him to move them to his big tank at school. So he did that. Happy and Lucky swam happily in their new tank.

A bit later, one of his students came in and told him, "Hey, I caught this sickle fish and I don't want it any more, do you want it?" And my teacher said, "sure." He plopped the fish into his big tank and left.

The next morning, he came in. Lucky and Happy had no EYES anymore.

One of my classmates commented, "They sure weren't very lucky," which I agree with eek.

And you know what he said? He said, "But they were still swimming very happily." *insert horrified laughter from me*

Anyways, he moved the sickle fish out, into another tank. Quarantine, you know?

A little while later, another student came in with a baby bluegill. It was maybe 3 inches long? Very tiny.

My teacher put it with the sickle fish.

The next morning he came in... there was no trace of the sickle fish. None. The bluegill had eaten it all up in one night.

Which is like... ahhhh so scary!!!! The fish world is so scary!!!

Okay, but anyways. Do you guys have any fish horror stories to tell?

Spoiler

I've heard lots of stories about cannibalistic fish and fish mothers eating their babies and stuff... is that common?

 

Fishes are quite territorial, says @One Perfect Veteran

 

Something like this happened to my cousins once. They had 7 fish. They went out for an afternoon. When they returned, only the smallest fish remained

When my family and I were still living in Utah, our Male Parental unit had brought back some largemouth bass and decided to make fish for dinner. Alas, they were ALL female...so when he cut them open eggs fell out into the sink and it was rather disgusting.

 

My first pet was a fish, which died rather quickly.

But it lives on in my memory, mostly because it’s name is the answer to a security question.
