That's too bad you lost 2 fish out of that incident.

The Aulonocara must have been very hungry. You do feed them, do you?

Aulononocara's áre peaceful Do not mix up 'carnivorous' (or, rather, piscivorous, in this case) and 'agressive'. It's not the same thing

HI, this aulonocara eats well, i feed them 2 to 3x a day..

So sad that the fish died. Anyway, thanks for the pictures.

This is a sad yet funny incident. The aulonocara is not known to be such an aggressive type. If you feed it 2 times a day, there is not any reason for it to eat the demasoni. May be the demasoni got stuck inside its mouth and in the process of getting free it went inside. Just a wild guess!
