Hey everyone,
So I have had my 55 gal up and running for about 8 months now. And the most bizarre thing has happened, 9 fish have disappeared.
So I left on vacation for 2 weeks and I came back to 9 fish missing, they were all being fed every other day over this time.
Here was the stock:
5 Rosy barbs
4 serpae tetra
6 bloodfin tetra
5 cory cats
2 bristlenose pleco
Now:
4 Rosy barbs
4 serpaes
1 bloodfin
2 corys
2 pleco
And no fish has a mouth near big enough to eat these fish and the 1 barb that went missing was the biggest fish in the tank...
No jumpers either I checked all around.
I tested the water and got a 0 ppm ammonia 0 nitrite and 5 ppm nitrate. So I don't think 9 fish died and were eaten in 2 weeks without having an ammonia spike
Not really sure what could have happened? Any ideaa?
