Missing fish!!

[orangelover77]

Okay so I had 3 Platy 1 Molly 1 Gourami and 3 Glofish in a tank. I left someone in charge of my tank for a week and when I came back all I had left were my Glofish. I asked the person that was in charge of my tank where my fish were and she said she had no clue. HELP! I miss my babies! :'(

Sorry for the loss that is a bad situation, do you have a cat? does your tank have a lid?. I hate to make accusations but with that many fish gone and you being away for only a week I would think either someone took your fish or they weren't taken care of, died an then were removed. Just my thoughts

 

[Istrom]

Well, I agree, they probably died but weren't removed. They probably got eaten by the other fish.

 

[orangelover77]

Well it's someone that I have had watch my fish 20+ times. I don't have cat and it does have a lid

 

[Istrom]

Then it's got to be that somehow they passed away and then were eaten by other fish

 

[orangelover77]

I guess so... I guess I just don't want to accept it

Have you checked the filter? That's a possibility?
How about P. Sherman 42 wallaby way Sydney Australia?

Alright all joking matters aside, is there anyway they could of jumped and hid? Like behind a piece of furniture

 

[Istrom]

I'm sorry how long had you had these fish?

Well it's very hard for fish to move behind a couch once they're out of water xD

Hey, flying fish. An you know what say, jump, drop and flop

It could happen but it's also not very likely lol

 

[cgthebeast]

Well sure it is, you could easily have a fish that can jump four feet out of the tank an if you have anything like my tank( next to my bed) then it's possible.

 

[orangelover77]

It has a lid though?

 

[Pandicorn]

How big is your tank? It is possible they are all hiding- Unlikely, but possible if you have a big tank. Usually, when fish are eaten, they leave a tiny little skeleton, IME.


Cycling 45 Gallon. ???

I just cleaned the tank out yesterday and there were no skeletons or anything...

Hey I had a 1.5 foot pleco jump out of a 5 foot high tank,
Moved into the dining room and then I found him around 2 hours later. Lived fine for a week and passes away. His fins shredded from stress and melafix just made it worse :/ back to the topic at hand, it happens with loss of fish. I can definitely say I had dithers disappear! I could also say that someone trying to be nice decided to put 10 minnows in my tank without my knowledge. To make it nicer. In a week they were a high protein snack for my big cichlids.

 

[orangelover77]

Wow! I guess I just miss my fishys!
