I was devastatated to find my lovely albino BN female that I had grown from 2cm fry floating dead on the bottom of my tank. I had 3 BN, all siblings acquired as tiny fry 16 months ago.The largest is a 13cm brown male who defends his territory. The other2 were the 10cm albino and a smaller 8cm brown female/sub male. The dead albino had a large red bruise on top of its head and a black area at the side near the gills. I noticed its odontodes were fully extended (never seen my BN do this alive) and its pectoral fins extended rigidly. Could it have been trying to defend itself? Other fish including remaining two BN are well.
The other tank occupants are a mediun sized gourami and one angel fish. I also added about 16 mostly male guppies to teh tank abut 2 weeks ago and they have all disapeared too, 8 of them overnight. I onlt found 2 bodies so can only assume they have been eaten. But which of my fish is capable of killing BN and swallowing male guppies whole?
