FISH BEING EATEN ALIVE by a PREDATOR in a planted aquarium | EP3 COMMUNITY AQUARIUM

I discovered a predator (dragonfly nymph) that was eating my fish alive in a planted aquarium. Apart from this at the beginning of the video I had a bad plant melt from what I assume is extreme temperatures (heat wave) we experienced during summer in Europe. I replaced melting plants Mayaca fluviatilis with Limnophila sessiliflora. All was going well until I discovered two Chili rasbora were missing and three Panda corydoras had serious injuries. Unfortunately after melting plants and missing and injured fish I decided to end this aquarium story. I will re-scape this aquarium into something new.
