My fish keep disappearing!

I lost a little cory catfish the other day and now I'm missing a HUGE crowntailed betta.... The tank was like 3-4" lower than it should've been because I took the rocks out so there's no way in heck that betta could've jumped out.....I looked everywhere around the tank and such and it's just missing! I have nothing in my tank big enough to eat it so I don't know what the heck! I haven't found bones or anything he's just missing ...and if anything ate the cory wouldn't it have died or choked or something?? @__@....this is turning out like my 5" CAE that went missing and later on I had to take everything out of my room to do new floors and i STILL couldn't find it..... -____- the case of the missing fish will never cease I tell you!

do you have any hollow decorations ? I had a betta wiggle his way under one once - he got lost inside the thing. I NEVER use hollow decorations anymore because of that experience - it was NOT pretty when I found him

I'm sorry for the loss of your cory. Until anything else turns up deceased, I will keep my fingers crossed for you and the fishies.

It seems you have a Bermuda Triangle tank there.

@__@ The filter would've taken skill because it was above the water line and my betta had a bad eye after it had pop-eye and then another betta bit it, tearing it open... a lotta skill >.<

It is like the burmuda triangle right now! I had a random betta death the other day, i have a goldfish with a weird discolored spot with slightly raised scales in the spot, a really sick betta, and missing fish... T__T My 20 gal's a mess.

I have one in the main part of the tank but I have (haD) three in breeding cages so that they'd be in warm water. During the spring and summer I put them in smaller containers because they don't get too cold, but my room is freezing in the winter. I now only have one in the tank and one in a totally seperate tank (with my only female betta) and one's in isolation for being sick.


--Update--

I found my recent missing male (not the crowntailed) and he's dead and chewed up. X.x
