I have an interesting one

[Dunkleosteus]

I have a crab I caught up that is now killing every expensive fish I've bought. (Two lions and a cowfish)

i doubt it was that little guy unless the fish in question were also very small. There may be another one in there that is larger so be on the lookout

My lion eats crabs that size whole. He is only a 5 -6 inch zebra. I found that out when I put an emerald crab in the tank.

I don't think that could kill a lion unless it was a freshly born one.

The Lion was about 3-4 inches and the second was 3 inches

This guy has taken swings at massive fish

taking swings is different than killing. Something else is going on.

Idk, I've seen these fish continuosly torn at and eventually caught. No problems at all until this crab arrived

theres either something bigger in there, or the aggressive predatory fish you were keeping fought.

It was actually only one at a time. And there really isn't much in there

Cowfish will nibble and tear at lions, lionfish can also fight the cowfish or eachother.

That's true. I had the lion and a 1 inch cow in the same tank and the cow did chase him a little. But the lion's were never in at the same time

That's what I'm thinking. I want to keep it but it's a menace
