Dead Female Ram

[bleechme]

My two rams where doing good in the community tank, very colorful and livley. The pair just had eggs but the eggs are all gone now. Then one evening, I came to feed my fish and I couldn't find my female ram. I looked around and she was dead, floating behind the filter. Her stomach was eaten out. . I still don't know who the killer is.

In my tank I have:
Pair German ram (dead female)
5 gold tetras
1 neon tetra
2 rosboras
and 1 Rosy barb.

I am thinking it might have been the rosy barb since nothing happen before I put him in there.

if i was to guest i would say that it was either the rosy bard or the other German ram. Also
if it died from natural causes the other fish maby ate her.

I d be inclined to think that the ram just died.Any ram aggressiveness is usually confined to chasing and you would have noticed this.Although the rosy can be a bit aggressive if kept alone or in small numbers it would really be only fin nipping and I doubt very much that it could or would kill a ram
The other fish are non-starters.
Once a fish dies it soon becomes food to other fish and thats why it was partially eaten
I dont think from your list of fish that theres a killer in there.
Sorry to hear about the ram

I don't know what else could of killed her. She was pretty healty in the morning that day. Her mate doesn't seem aggressive towards her in anway either. I still suspect it might be the Rosy barb but I fell that, that fish couldn't do much damage on her.
