Maybe your plants are rotten? My drift wood was once covered by this white slimy stuff which smelled so bad. I think filters need some cleaning once in a while.

Thanks marsh! And you're right, not many hiding places. I planted this tree like thing on the right but tummies are hiding under it because my tanks too bright for them. I might consider planting a tall plant in the corner, thanks for your input.

Danios? Okay...well I don't like them so much now. Since my fish and shrimps were healthy, I feel like danios attacked these poor fish and devoured them alive. Btw would the same type of fish from different fish stores get along fine? I might get 3 or 4 more rasboras

I agree with you guys I think 3 rasboras too small of a school

7RCS 5Rummies 8Neons 3Rasboras 3Pink-fish

Guys.... I really don't understand this. One of my rasboras gone, one fully grown shrimp dead and its body half sucked into the filter (heads gone, tail gone, only legs and part of its body) So far... 1 neon jumped out and died One shrimp eaten and sucked into filter Rasbora disappeared Rummy...

Thank you guys for some insights. I feel somewhat better to hear that it happens elsewhere, but I wanna do something about it if the algae/shrimp/water quality/tank setting is stressing my fish. Maybe my 16W x 4 T5 light and my 3W x 6 LED are too much for them. Something else I wanna ask you...

I don't think I have a bully in my 17G tank but this orange-ish pink fish (with two barely visible gray horizontal stripes) tends to be rambunctious. Can't identify it. I still can't find my rummy in my room, I remember rummy is quite aggressive when its out of water so it might have jumped out...

I wasn't too worried about the water quality because rummys nose was very red and didn't seem stressed.

I haven't checked for a month, I used up all my testing kit...ill do a quick water change now.

I just put the lid back on. I have 7 RCS in my tank so I wouldn't be surprised if they devoured my rummy. (But my fully grown rummy was in a very healthy condition...) Do you guys know what causes fish to jump out? Do they jump out of the tank when they are under stress?

Sure, But then where did my rummy go? I can't find it anywhere

Hi guys, My fish was actually on the floor of my room. I do have a lid but I removed it a few days ago.

Hi guys, I just don't understand what's going on. I found one of my neon tetras on the floor this morning. And then I realized one of my rummy nose is gone. I thought it died and was partially consumed by other fish or by my RCS but I found no clue. What do you think is going on?

Thank you two for some real helpful inputs. Finnex ray 2 does look legit but I almost want a light that's not LED because I want some intense light temporarily and once i get the carpet, I might consider switching it back to my LED light. How many watts or K is enough you think for my tank...
