mushroom eating a fish!!
#1
Wow I just had the most amazing experience last night!! I caught it all on camera too so will post the step by step shots in the gallery.
I watched our mushroom eat a green chromis!!
I had just fed the fish and some food drifted over the mushrooms. The fish must have made a dash for a bit of food but sadly touched the mushroom and got stunned by it's poison. In seconds the mushroom completely enveloped the fish and stayed like that for about 10 mins. It soon realised it had bitten off more than it could chew and started to re open. The photos actually show the central opening of the mushrooom stretched to full cpaacity trying to eat the fish. It then gradually expels the fish - and very dead too!
It was fantastic to see nature in action in my tank.
