Stuck Fish; Now There All Stuck and Dead!! HELP!

[Psyire]

My bro-inlaw had a crab that would pluck fish right out of the water and it wasn't surprisingly big. It plucked fish that were easily twice his size. Sinister...

[KrazyKuch]

But did he take all the fish in one night...prob not...crabs usually only take what they can eat at the time...so if it was one fish a night I could suspect a small crab....but all at once, definatly a crab thats bigger then a toonie!

Get a blue or Red LED flash light so you don't scare that predator away.. see you can find anything.. turn the light off at night wait an hour or 2.. and spy inside your tank

I didn't have any luck finding anything last night. I 'll try again tonight

Here is a couple pick of the claws that I pull off the crab while trying to get him out of the rock. Mabey this will help the ID.

Thanks Cody

Man, that thing is hairy.

My vote would be that some sort of disease wiped out the fish and any number of opportunistic animals pull the bodies into the rocks. If there were some sort of super predator in there, I'm sure it would have taken one fish here and there long before it took out all the fish at one time.

No...that's bacterial or viral or something...

Im with untamed on this....very few animals kill for fun. Most animals kill when they need food or when they are protecting their young.
