I recently finished my fish less cycle and added 4 neon tetras, 4 platy/molly and an electric blue lobster (crayfish). Over the past two days, two of my neon tetras have ended up stuck to the filter intake. Is it possible that my lobster is attacking the tetras and they're ended up in the filter? If not, I'm not too sure what it could be.

Thanks for your help.
 
Either the intake is somehow too strong, they died of disease or poor stock, or somebody is harassing them is what I would think.

I'd keep a close eye on everyone to see if you can witness any bulling
 
Im new to all this, but i had a guppy get caught when i first introduced the bag of them into the tank. This one wasnt in the greatest shape and didnt survive afterwards either, and the rest of them havent had any issues with it in the last week of the filter going full bore. So from my case id say he only got caught because he didnt have enough life left to get away from the current. Thought it may pertain to yours too
