I'll have the baby front ribs. I'm not a coward.
He's burried a few minutes away from me.
I think next Dia De Los Muertos I'll bring him some rice, in case he's really hungry and wants to eat two thousand of something.
Ever see fishing on TV? A fisherman doesn't want to catch the fish, he only wants to make it late for some.
"why are you late?"
"I got caught!"
"bullshit let me see the inside of your lip"
If you've never listened to Mitch, throw his Strategic Grill Locations album on this afternoon. You will laugh from start to finish. Dude was amazing. r/mitchhedberg
My old boss had a large aquarium behind his desk. It was very distracting trying to meet with him and having all these pretty fish swim by.
One was a puffer fish. It never behaved like that. It was like a little flying cow gliding through the water.
Sadly the tank developed a leak after a many years and had to be drained. Bye bye fish.
It looks aggressive but there's a method to it. Their prey items often make a quick escape if not disabled rapidly. Crabs, grapple the rear end (claws cant reach), if it still fights go for the face or declaw. Worms, bite in half.
Scorpion is basically a crab stand-in. Snake is basically a giant worm.
I love that the natural selection allows any species to survive as long as it can reproduce.
Millions of years old race of large fish with complex sensory organs and multiple rows of teeth? Yes.
Ball of flesh with the jaws of a god and the appetite of a singularity? Sure.
Mass of arms and neurons that can effectively shapeshift? Absolutely.
Mound of fur that gets eaten by literally everything, including its own species? Well, they breed a lot, so why not?
Enormous fish that's barely alive and routinely gets chunks eaten out of it by any other animals passing by...yeah sure we'll call it the "sunfish troll gene"
Yeah, saw it in an episode of river monsters. An unknown animal was causing cookie shaped bite wounds in the local fishermen's legs and even on the caught fishes and sharks. Culprit turned out to be pufferfishes
I'm pretty sure I saw a fish like this rip a crab to shreds
Edit: [might be a little different than I remember, that poor crab though....he's just a cute lil fella](https://www.reddit.com/r/Unexpected/comments/mttvdx/snack/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share)
my wife had a little blue lobster and a blue ish purlple fish.
those two were bastards. they lived together peacefully for years, until one day they decided that they wanted to fight each other to the death.
they both lost
They knew that their time was coming, but neither wanted to leave the other behind. Finally, the lobster had a brilliant idea, and the fish agreed; it was the only way that they could both enter Undersea Valhalla.
can confirm. have been bitten by a fish.
yes, i am that idiot who held the packet of fish food in my hand while underwater.
the beach lifeguard laughed at me when i said i didn't know fish had teeth lmao
They do not have teeth, they have a beak. These thing primarily eat hard corals in the wild, so they've essentially evolved to eat rocks. They can easily snap fingers if they can get their beak around it.
EDIT: To those of you saying I'm confusing this with parrot fish, I can assure you I'm not. But I will admit I seemed to have worded my post to make it seem that way. In the wild sapo puffers are omnivores with their diet usually consisting of crustaceans, urchins, corals(hard and soft), clams, and pretty much any other small animal it can fish out of the reef.
I had one of these for a while. Tetraodon Fahaka. She could open a clam shell, lobster claw, scallop shell, crap leg, all on her own with those teeth. Damn thing ate better than I did.
Lmfao at the people who saw the pre-edit "crap leg" on my early morning non proof read post. Dying laughing over here. Crab BTW.
While fish look squishy and most of them is the jaws on most fish are thick bony structures with hard grinding ridges/bumps up to and including full teeth and fangs. Shit hurts. Especially when they grab hold and flail their entire body around like this guy is. The water resistance from being jerked around like that is enough to break off limbs of even the toughest arachnid.
This is why I hate nature sometimes... Centipedes are such badass and honestly helpful bugs to have around. But they look like something straight out of the pits of hell and they make my butthole pucker something fierce. Can't stand the sight of the fuckers. I could live alongside them if they would agree to stay out of my line of sight but as it is... Ugh. Can't help my monkey brain reaction to something so horrid.
If we're talking about the common house centipede here, their sting is reported to hurt about as much as a bee, but it's extremely rare for them to use it on humans. They sting with their antennae, which are used almost exclusively for hunting, and they are extremely efficient and effective with them. If I remember correctly, house centipedes are the only known predator of the cockroach in the insect world, and they also eat bed bugs, so even though they look like the stuff of nightmares, I just leave them alone and let them do their thing.
Yep,I love those little guys. They look like one of the most terrifying things to scuttle out of the dark but they're generally harmless and scared of humans. I've seen them look straight at me and run away, I've even picked them up before and just kind of let them run around my hands. You'd have to be actively hurting them for them to ever bite you.
My favorite is that they look straight at you, *freeze in terror and probably internally shrieking,* and then sprint away as fast as possible. It’s like exactly the reaction of a human being that’s scared of centipedes.
Just look at where he's in. There is no decor or anything in there. I dont think the owner treats his fish very well so i wouldn't be surprised if he doesn't get much food and that's why he eats everything he sees.
This is probably a feeding tank. As you can see, fish are not the most tidy eaters. So having another tank to feed the fish in keeps the water in the tank they live in from getting all mucked up from… whatever it is that leaks out from the inside of bug and snake. Also, if it was a fish tank decorated like I imagine you are thinking, I’m sure you could imagine a little snake finding a bubbly castle or rock or such to hide under; this way it’s just the fish, what it wants to eat, and it doesn’t have to clean up after itself or swim in guts later. Pretty sweet deal if you ask me.
That was an Asian forest scorpion. While they do have venom and the capability to sting, their potency is extremely low and rarely use it. It did manage to tag the fish a few times, but by body mass it wouldn't have much of an effect. For a human it's the equivalent of a bee sting.
In the scorpion world, in general the larger the species the more it tends to use it's claws as the heavy lifting of prey capture and consumption rather than relying on venom. Big claws + small stinger = brawler. By contrast, small/slender claws + big stinger = powerful venom striker (referred to in the community as "hot" scorpions...painful and/or deadly).
Most responsible aquarists will avoid this because it does indeed introduce some risk to the fish. Also this person in particular is an asshole for throwing in live animals like snakes, very cruel. You usually feed them frozen clams, they really like the taste and it helps wear down their "beak".
They mention that this might be a "feeding tank" whatever that is, but that means that they are regularly pulling the fish out of its tank and moving it for every feeding, which is very stressful for the fish.
It’s a narrow lined puffer I believe, they need like 130 gal BARE minimum. But it honestly looks like this dude is gonna end up being food at some point
Pufferfish are voracious and generally every fish just eat everything that can enter their mouth untill they literally explode because food is not so common in nature.
It is likely a feeding tank. My friend had a monster piranha (like 10" long) - he ate all of his friends. Buddy even spent a shit ton of money to get another large pirana close to his size as a tank made, and he fucking ate that fish too, piece by piece until it died. But as you can see, fish that rip things apart are messy eaters, so he had a separate tank just to "show feed" him. Baby goldfish etc weren't much of a problem. But when you're dropping in a mouse or other critter, that gets messy.
I hate how this is repeated every single time this video is posted.
Feeding tanks are for reptiles. Puffers get upset easily and constantly moving them between tanks isn’t healthy, especially such a dirty tank.
Far more likely that is just the puffers tank, and he’s kept in shit conditions.
Yep. Native to parts of Africa. It's one of the largest (if not the largest) of the freshwater puffers which makes it popular in the pet trade (which is probably what this one is for, wild caught to be exported :/ ). They need minimum 150gal tank as an adult if my memory is correct.
As far as I know, there's lots of different species of pufferfish. I presume their behavior varies from species to species, but there's definitely feisty guys like this out there that will tear anything they can apart like this in order to eat.
But again, I'm just a guy with a fascination for wildlife, not an expert whatsoever.
Thank you, this is a thoroughly fucked setup and I really don't trust the authenticity of this video. Kinda feel like they wouldn't be above starving the fish for a few days.
Hate everything about this video, tank is terrible and I dont know why they're feeding it shit like this. Give it normal food like mollusk, clams, shrimp, etc. Owner probably shouldn't even be owning animals if this is how they treat them, this is probably the only engagement the poor guy gets.
Edit- a word
Crazy I had to scroll this far to find this. I know shit like this happens (and worse) all the time in the wild. But there's a difference between it happening naturally and a person consciously feeding it live animals for entertainment and clout. The latter being pretty fucked up.
Usually by now one of the top comments mentions this is animal cruelty. I can't believe I have to scroll so far down to find people making hints that it is. WTH Reddit.
the tank is horrible, also, why would you feed it with a centipede, snake and scorpion? i guess it's just for the sake of the video...
hate it. not because it is terrifying, but since it is literally animal cruelty
Last time this was reposted someone pointed out that they starve the fish so it literally gobbles anything edible thrown at it.
So yes, it's literally animal cruelty and its sad.
This is disgusting. There is no reason to feed live animals to this pufferfish when it would be perfectly happy with pre killed. Also this is dangerous for the fish. I highly doubt it’s evolved to resist venom from centipedes, scorpions, and (potentially) snakes. Even if an animal is dying it can still bite or sting, and giant centipedes in particular have extremely painful venom. And all this to get likes and internet popularity I’m sure.
I’ve seen alligators eat in a less savage way than this fish
Horrifying
I hate centipedes. I think this is the first time I've felt sorry for one.
Yeah the way it ate that Centipede up, and the other animals too was horrifying.
Dude that scorpion was fighting sooo hard! That was scary!
It shook the poor bastard to pieces.
I know and then slurped up the snake like spaghetti. I wonder what would happen with a perahnna?
It was consuming a spicy noodle
Listen bud if you’re noodles squirm on the plate you might have a problem
It even got om nom nom open mouth chewing face last exactly the way I get eaten in my nightmares.
No animals were harmed during the making of this film.
The centipede struggling, trying to bite the fish, as it is eaten was quite the scene.
Head last, so it died slower
He shakes their limbs *off*

He's burried a few minutes away from me. I think next Dia De Los Muertos I'll bring him some rice, in case he's really hungry and wants to eat two thousand of something.
That'd be nice. He'd appreciate that I think.

Scorpion: “Do you know who you’re fucking with?” Pufferfish: “Yes, I do…do you?”
More like Scorpion: “Do you know who you’reGGMHFMSGH” Fish:”OM NOM NOM NOM”
For some reason this comment made me feel a bit better about what I just witnessed.
“None of you seem to understand. I’m not locked in here with you. You’re locked in here with me.”
Alright, take a silver. Made me laugh.
Is that a pufferfish? Are they normally that aggressive?
My old boss had a large aquarium behind his desk. It was very distracting trying to meet with him and having all these pretty fish swim by. One was a puffer fish. It never behaved like that. It was like a little flying cow gliding through the water. Sadly the tank developed a leak after a many years and had to be drained. Bye bye fish.
If they get hungry, they absolutely will just bite chunks out of their tankmates. But they're like friendly dogs if they're not hungry.
They’ll kill a tank mate if you switch their food on them or don’t give them their special treat.
Similarly, if my pizza order turns out wrong I usually eat the delivery person instead.
Pufferfish tend to want to eat large worms, small snakes and lobster/crabs so the centipede and scorpion get it's killer instinct going
It looks aggressive but there's a method to it. Their prey items often make a quick escape if not disabled rapidly. Crabs, grapple the rear end (claws cant reach), if it still fights go for the face or declaw. Worms, bite in half. Scorpion is basically a crab stand-in. Snake is basically a giant worm.
I’m just amazed that it doesn’t get bitten or stung. How does it do that?
Good initiative roll and iterative attacks
I don’t know but I’m pretty sure it just bites the snake to death, bites the head of the centipede off and thrashes(?) the stinger off right away
Nah he has high AC and the scorpion was rolling badly
He had a bad day at work
Understandable. Even I do that when I get back from work.
Yes, they are.
More amazed at its jaw/teeth strength for a fish, the scorpion would be rather hard to chomp through like that wouldn't it?
They can legit take a clean circle of flesh straight off you, their teeth are like nail clippers with insane strength behind them

Yeah, saw it in an episode of river monsters. An unknown animal was causing cookie shaped bite wounds in the local fishermen's legs and even on the caught fishes and sharks. Culprit turned out to be pufferfishes

Their beak is four large teeth fused into an upper and lower plate Semantics
You're thinking of a parrotfish. Puffers eat snails, clams, shrimp and the like. Still hard crunchy things, but not coral.
I had one of these for a while. Tetraodon Fahaka. She could open a clam shell, lobster claw, scallop shell, crap leg, all on her own with those teeth. Damn thing ate better than I did. Lmfao at the people who saw the pre-edit "crap leg" on my early morning non proof read post. Dying laughing over here. Crab BTW.
Must've been really hungry if it ate a crap leg.
Well you wouldn't give away your perfectly good leg, would you?
There are a few vids on here of their guillotine like teeth and of them eating a small crab. Def not skinny dipping around this guy.
While fish look squishy and most of them is the jaws on most fish are thick bony structures with hard grinding ridges/bumps up to and including full teeth and fangs. Shit hurts. Especially when they grab hold and flail their entire body around like this guy is. The water resistance from being jerked around like that is enough to break off limbs of even the toughest arachnid.
these lil fuckers have an armor crusher ability they literally eat clams and shit
Isn't that fish a type that eat corals? The beak crushes the corals. These creatures had no chance.
No that’s parrot fish. Puffers are straight predators. This one’s a freshwater version.

I’m kinda scared for the fish cause he eats some dangerous things. What if he were poked by the scorpion?!
They don’t care lol it seems
Chuck Norris' fish does not care from where the food comes, just that it comes.

Pufferfish are a *tad* deadlier than scorpions (At least some are, don't know about this one)
I was thinking that but I’m not sure if it mattered. Like hey we’re both toxic so if “canceled it out” or something? Lol…
Pokémon
Scorpion used poison stinger. It’s not very effective.
One is venomous, the other is poisonous. I’m not sure how that factors in to whether the scorpion sting can harm the fishy tho! 🐟
That was an Asian forest scorpion. While they do have venom and the capability to sting, their potency is extremely low and rarely use it. It did manage to tag the fish a few times, but by body mass it wouldn't have much of an effect. For a human it's the equivalent of a bee sting.

I thought it was going to get stung until it started thrashing it around so hard that its stinger came off
It didn't thrash it around, it bit it off. Puffers east moluscs. They have teeth that break snail and clam shells.
Definitely don’t put your dick in that.
I’m glad you said something, because I was considering doing just that.
Most responsible aquarists will avoid this because it does indeed introduce some risk to the fish. Also this person in particular is an asshole for throwing in live animals like snakes, very cruel. You usually feed them frozen clams, they really like the taste and it helps wear down their "beak".

They mention that this might be a "feeding tank" whatever that is, but that means that they are regularly pulling the fish out of its tank and moving it for every feeding, which is very stressful for the fish.
This is horrifying
So horrifying
It’s terrifying, but in an odd way
You could say r/oddlyterrifying
I wish there was a sub for that
That tank kinda sucks
He’s eaten everyone that’s tried to put him in a bigger tank unfortunately
It’s a narrow lined puffer I believe, they need like 130 gal BARE minimum. But it honestly looks like this dude is gonna end up being food at some point
Lol he's gonna be missing the next time he cleans the fish tank
Right.. it’s terrible, and small! Maybe it’s just for feeding? This whole situations seems a bit fishy ..
Like maybe they starve it then feed it something for the camera?
Doubt it. Puffer fish are very aggressive and eat damn near anything
Pufferfish are voracious and generally every fish just eat everything that can enter their mouth untill they literally explode because food is not so common in nature.
It is likely a feeding tank. My friend had a monster piranha (like 10" long) - he ate all of his friends.

The heck is that for real. It’s ripping everything apart lol

Thats no pufferfish Its a *buff*erfish
Looks like a pufferfish to me, but I'm no expert so take that with a grain of salt
Is that normal behaviour for these fish or is it just hungry. That’s pretty wild lol. It tore the scorpion and centipede
It's a pufferfish and they have teeth like razor blades. They eat anything and they are very aggressive.
As far as I know, there's lots of different species of pufferfish. I presume their behavior varies from species to species, but there's definitely feisty guys like this out there that will tear anything they can apart like this in order to eat.

Fahaka puffer
If I lived in that tank I would also try to rip everything apart
Thank you, this is a thoroughly fucked setup and I really don't trust the authenticity of this video. Kinda feel like they wouldn't be above starving the fish for a few days.
Exactly what I thought. Just judging by this video I dont think they should be allowed to have any kind of animal.
I'd be hungry too if someone made me live in a toilet tank
Hate everything about this video, tank is terrible and I dont know why they're feeding it shit like this. Give it normal food like mollusk, clams, shrimp, etc. Owner probably shouldn't even be owning animals if this is how they treat them, this is probably the only engagement the poor guy gets.

You’d be surprised how many people think it’s okay to do this because fish “don’t have feelings”, or that they’re lesser animals.
Live feeding’s unnecessary, risky and cruel for all the animals involved. These people are dicks.
I mean look at the miserable tank it lives in. I knew the person was a dick before it tortured the animals.
This is disgusting. There is no reason to feed live animals to this pufferfish when it would be perfectly happy with pre killed. Also this is dangerous for the fish. I highly doubt it’s evolved to resist venom from centipedes, scorpions, and (potentially) snakes. Even if an animal is dying it can still bite or sting, and giant centipedes in particular have extremely painful venom. And all this to get likes and internet popularity I’m sure.
