[dougan87]

when i checked my fish last night i had a count of them and realised 2 had gone, i also checked them this morning and another 1 has gone. in my tank i have

6x purple tetras
6x neon tetras now 4
3x glowlight tetras
5x baby black/red platties now 4
5x baby white mollies
3x neon red guppies

is it possible something something has ate them? im abit worried that there going to keep getting less.

thanks

theyre could be some mosquito larva killing them or they may just be hiding

ive just got back from physio and looked at my fish and there was another neon tetra floating around in the tank, its mouth was moving but the fins were not! it looked like blood on its gills any idea what could be happening? there didnt seem to be any marks on the fish

check water stats, as that would be the most likely cause at this time

 

[WILDER]

Size of tank in gallons or litres.
Water stats in ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and ph.

Red gills that look like there bleeding can be gill flukes.
Red inflamed gills can be bad water quality, gill flukes, bacterial gill rot.
