That is interesting
I've experienced similar behavior in turtles. Feeder fish are greedily
devoured when they are introduced but survivors generally are able to
reside in the tank unmolested. I wonder if it is the bewildered nature
of the freshly introduced fish that makes them vulnerable and the
survivors learn to keep out of the way of the predatory fish and
turtles.
