I seem to be missing one of my Chromis. It's a small fish, no more than an inch. Tank is a 29, and I have a decent cleanup crew. (hermits/brittle star) Should I be concerned about this fish if it's dead, or will the crew clean it up?
 
Agreed with mjvincent and fluff. Cleanup crew was on my deadfish in less than 5 min! Just check ammonia becuase if it died in a place where it cannot be gotton to then it will spike.
 
My chromi still missing since 4 days ago, but when I tested for ammonia this morning it was 0 so I guess that's a good sign. I did moved my rocks around a bit but did not find it. I wouldn't worry about it unless your ammonia starts to spike up. :D
 
I have never taken a dead fish out of the tank.........
 
well, 2 of my cardinal died at once over night due to my own stupid mistake. and 2nd day morning they both got cleans up by 2 of my sallylightfoot, the only thing left was the fish head lol.
