eating shrimp or growing tentacles?

I think he just ate my shrimp. He's been swimming around with this in his mouth for about 10 minutes. He even passed up his dinner. Maybe the shrimp just molted and he's eating his shell??? Maybe? Oh man! What next.

I think sometimes the fish eat better than I do

I think I see some cocktail sauce on his chin.

If that isn't a "it wasn't me" shot, I don't know what is

He doesn't even look big enough to eat a shrimp. I'm gonna say it was the molt.

I've seen tiny fish eat up some very large shrimp. I'd say it was a nice meal.

That second pic is to funny. The fish has those big innocent looking eyes, and swimmin around like he ain't done nothin. That's worse than getting your hand caught in the cookie jar.

But seriously, I hope the fish will be okay. If he can't digest it or regurgitate it, he is going to have serious problems.

I had that same fish (not sure what they are called) And he did the same thing to me. He ate two of my shrimp swam around with them hanging out of his mouth just like that and he was fine(I cant say the same for the shrimp).

LOL...sorry about that

But that is one of the funniest pictures I have ever seen. I can hear your fish whistling as if to be saying..."nothing to see here...la la la...move along, move along..."

I'm happy to say my fish is happy and healthy tonight. He digested his shrimp just fine. No more poor little peppermints for him!
