What is weird is that my father has a 55 gallon tank. For some reason the fish are slowing disappearing. There have been no trace of any of these fish whatsoever. For example the following is a list of the fish that were in the tank (some added at different times) and the ones that have somehow disappeared:
It is a 55 gallon tank with:
- 2 pearl gouramis
- 1 powder blue dwarf gourami (disappearted)
- 2 regular dwarf gouramis (1 disappeared)
- 1 rosey red minnow
- 4 neon tetras ( 1 missing)
- 4 adult fancy guppies (2 males and 2 females, they were the first to go and went missing within the first week or two of their introduction)
- 2 black tetras
- 2 rosey barbs (young)
- 2 tiger barbs (young)
I have in some of my water changes removed all of the plants and decorations and searched underneath the gravel to see if any of these fish were hiding, but they have completly disappeared. Even if they were chopped up, it would have been almost impossible for any of them to have been sucked up by the filter. There have not been any half eaten remains of fish lying around in the tank to suggest any of the residents were eating them. If that was the cause, it would still not seem possible for even the biggest fish, a pearl gourami to fit the smallest fish a neon tetra in its mouth, to eat it whole without a trace. What is going on in this tank. There is a lid on the tank and there are no small children in the house that would take the fish out and I asked everyone in my household if they know what happened, but no one knows, so its not like someone is taking ou the fish. I find it really strange. What are the opinions of you guys.
