I just setup a new 60 gallon freshwater tank with no plants. I moved 1 adult angel and 2 adult denison barbs to this tank from an old tank, and they have been in there for approximately 2 weeks. Yesterday, I added the following to the tank:
6 silver hatchets
8 cardinal tetras
8 harlequin rasboras
4 fiddler crabs
4 nerite snails
1 blood redeye swordtail
It is clear that something is eating/destroying the rasboras. I ordered these online, and they were much smaller than I expected. It is also possible that a couple of the tetras have disappeared, but I can't confirm. Any idea who the culprit is? My best guess is the angel, but would like to hear your thoughts, and how certain you are. Would I have better luck if I bought older (i.e. slightly larger) harlequins/tetras, or will the problem persist? I also plan on getting a school of celestial pearl danios. Will I have the same problem?
