Over the past 8 months I have lost many fish, and a lot of them disappeared without a trace. Lost fish include: 2 molly's, 1 firefish, 1 cleaner wrasse, 1 yellow tang, 1 sleeper goby, 1 blue hippo, 4 blue-green chromis, and 6 banggais, 5 turbo snails and many small snails from my cuc.
Out of this list, there have been many fish that when gone, there was no trace. My latest 2 poor fish that fell to whatever it is that are killing them are my 2 original blue-green chromis. They disappeared 2 days ago and there has been absolutely no trace of them. I am worried that I have a bad hitchhiker, but have no idea what to look for. I posted a few months back about one of my snails that died and was covered by what looked to be cobwebs. When I pulled it out, it was a clear jelly like substance. Would this be something that could be killing and consuming my fish? I thought I had a mantis shrimp, but all I have found so far is a small brownish crab that is maybe 3/4" wide. Could someone give me some suggestions as to what could be taking all of these fish out?
Thanks everyone for all the great information on this site.
