blackfish feeding in a tank

That looks more like a bergal than a blackfish.

Nope. Take a good look at that fish. When you reel up a large bergall it looks a lot like a tog at first without the Lisa Rinna lips. I think that is a bergall. It even picks at the crab like a bergall.

That's definitely a juenile blackfish. Smaller than legal size at least. Probably a female. I think it's just not very agressive because it's in a tank and knows it will be there later. Put that thing in a 2,000 gallon aquarium with competition and I think you'd see a different sight.

So why do we cut the legs off ?

because if there aren't any legs........they'll inhale the body of the crab. how many times have YOU swung on any/all of those "leg bites" ????

None, I always take the leg's off.
