Two Missing Gold Algae Eaters

[eggie100]

Hi everyone,

Check out my signature.... it says I've got 3 Gold Algae Eaters. And I've seen all 3 of them last night. However, tonight, there's only 1!! I looked and looked and looked. I even uprooted all my plants looking but to no avail. Not even remains of the 2 missing fish.

OK, I know the Gold Algae Eater left is the aggressive one, but could he have killed the other 2? He chases them but I've never seen him behave violently against the other 2. There were no unsual behaviours of the fish tonight. Water conditions are normal.

What could account for the 2 missing algae eaters?

Thanks in advance.

don't worry...these guys find strange places to hide...specially if they are new to your tank...i couldn't see mine for about two days after adding it...and then suddenly it appeared out of nowhere...busy as ever...
on the dark side...they might have been killed...CAE's or gold algae eaters are aggressive and territorial...so...
keep your fingers crossed and hope for the best...
