Its a fish eat fish world:

Scientists working in the Eg and Uur rivers in northern Mongolia in 2006 found this 5-foot-long (1.5-meter-long) taimen that had choked to death on a 3-foot-long (0.9-meter-long) taimen. The taimen, a voracious and cannibalistic predator, has earned the nickname “river wolf” because it hunts in packs.
