(along side my snail infected tank i have another question)
in my tank i had two female guppies, one that happened to be fancy and the other plain. For a while my fancy guppy was looking kind of thin and was haning mostly at the bottom of the tank. i thought perhpas the other female, who was getting fatter by the day, was simply keeping my other one from the food. Anyhow.. i kept an eye on her for a few days, found her once on the bottom under some leaves near my driftwood, completely hidden.. then the next day.. gone. i mean completely. i knew she was too weak to jump out of the tank but i searched anyways. The floor, and all around the tank and nothing. i basically stripped the tank, moving the pants and wood and rocks and everything and couldn't find her. Not a dead little body or anything. Not even a piece of a fish anywhere. i have cories and ottos, but they don't eat dead fish do they? Could my other fish have actually eatten her? Or what the heck happened. She couldn't have died and like 'dissolved' or been sucked up by my hob filter that fast. i mean i even pulled the hob apart to check and nothing.
So.. what do you think could have happened?
