We’re Back! A Dinosaur’s Story (1993)
IMDB rating: 5.40
Plot: Captain New Eyes travels back in time in what is presumably the Late Cretaceous Period. He feeds the four prehistoric dinosaurs with the names of Rex, Elsa, Dweeb, and Woog his Brain Grain cereal, which makes them intelligent, non-violent and gentle creatures. They travel via space ship to the 21st century where they befriends with a street-smart boy and a poor-little-rich girl tough-talking but secretly soft-hearted Louie and a neglected cutie named Cecilia, from the opposite sides of the tracks, get rooked into performing in a demented circus run by the scientist’s evil brother Professor ScrewEyes, and learns something about friendship. He has other plans for those dinosaurs. In addition, his demeanor of tapping into people’s nightmares and a hypnotic stare render him a menace to be feared. ScrewEyes may be a bizarre baddie, but he works all the same.

Is it okay to feed my dead fish to my live ones?
My little sucker fish just recently died. My betta, Dinosaur Birch and Dragon Eel(might be making that name up, not sure what they’re really called) are nibbling on him a bit, and I was wondering if this is okay?
On a short story, I went on vacation for a few days, and when i got back, I noticed that one of my Pegasus sharks was missing. I’m thinking the Dragon Eel might have ate him after he died. This little sucker fish is smaller then the Shark.
In short, is it okay to leave it in there, or should i take it back?

@Penguin, FYI, I have three different tanks. This is all happening in my 40gallon tank. Don’t belittle my intelligence and stroke your own ego because of a simple question I had.
At least go learn some polite manners somewhere before you make yourself seem superior to strangers on the internet. D:<
Wow…your tank is very badly stocked. Very badly…To answer your actual question though, no, you should not let the other fish eat the dead fish. You don’t know how it died. If it was sick or had a parasite or something like that, the fish that ate it would get it as well. Plus, dead fish add a lot of ammonia to the water; this is common aquarist knowledge, and it is a little scary that you don’t know this…
Your "dragon eel" is called a dragon goby, and they are brackish water fish. Also, it’s bichir, not birch.

it wouldn’t be wise. the siamese algae eater could have died from something that could potentially infect other fish

Your "dragon eel" is actually a Dragon Goby, but you were close!
You should take out your dead fish because if you leave it in there, it’ll keep bringing your ammonia levels up a lot because of the rotting carcus. It’s normal for your fish to be poking at it and trying to eat it, but it’s best for your tank if you take it out.
And if your dragon goby ate your shark, thats okay. Just check behind and under ornaments and plants because when fish are about to die, they hide because the other fish try to eat them and bite them to kill them faster so they don’t suffer.
But other than that, you’re doing fantastic. Good luck!

you need to take it out because decomposing fish can produce higher amounts of ammonia than is good for your tank or what your current levels are at.

you should take it out. my cousin had a fish tank with a bunch of fish in it. when one of them died the other fish stared to nibble on it. eventually they all died. lesson learned.

no! your fish could have died of disease!

It’s called a dragon gobi. It didn’t eat your fish. It looks terrifying, but they’re harmless. I’ve got one in a tank right now with some molly and platy fry, they aren’t carnivores at all. See the tiny little eyes? He can’t track fast-moving prey like fish with eyes like that. He eats algae and food he sifts out of the gravel basically by chewing on it. You might have noticed him picking up gravel and turning it over in his mouth? He’s cleaning it.
Anyway, I wouldn’t leave your fish in there because it will rot and you’re eventually going to have to get pieces of skeleton and rotting flesh out of your tank. The longer you leave it the grosser it’s going to get.
Secondly, you don’t know what it died of. If it was a parasite or an illness, allowing the other fish to eat him might infect them as well. It’s best to just get the dead fish out of the tank.
Question G | Aug 27, 2009
It is absolutely Ok. This is nature at work. If your tank is small however, ammonia will build as the dead fish decays. The sucker is most likely eating algae and bacteria from the dacaying fish’s body, and not the fish itself. A dead fish is about the most healthy food in the aquarium.
