GF sucking eyes out?

[John...]

Hi,I have 2 fancy goldfish in my 30 gallon tank along with
1 pearl scale and 1 lionhead.
The 2 GF are bigger than the others.When I came home today
the lionhead had both eyes missing.
Do goldfish suck the eyes out of other fish?

John

Its not unknown. How often and how much do you feed them?

pearlscales have a rep for this. but any fish can do it. fish sitting around in pet
store tanks where they arent fed and dead or dying fish are left in there and get
cannibalized, this is where it often starts. Ingrid
