Just a quick question guys (I also posted this in my system thread) but has anyone come across silvers eating their goldfish? The silvers ate a bunch of 1-2 inch guppies and have now eaten 3 of 6 of my 3-4 inch gold fish. All that is left is a shiny exo-skin floating on the bottom.

Bugger. :?

I'm not surprised by the guppies getting eaten, but the goldfish sounds pretty unusual, especially at 3-4 inches in size.

How big are your SPs?
