Hi all,

about 5 months ago i purchased a 60L tank, i followed many pieces of adive form online sites and forums to start up my tank and have tried to do everything by the book, i started off with 4 Glofish, (they were purchased from a pretty regualr store but since purchase i have been able to find information on the particualr ones, they are are see-though, what i belive in other species to be sometimes called x-ray) somebody tole me they were Glowlights not Glofish. My other first inhabitant was a red finned black shark (he is very small - less than 2 inches)

So these fish seems happy after about 2 months so i decided to add some more - 2 gold gouramis, these also were happy for about a month/6 weeks

Ine of the gouramis died about 2 weeks later, i removed the dead fish and checked the water levels, everything was fine, i headed down to my usual store where they told me that i should definatley by anohter else the other gold gourami could get lonely.

O.K so here is the weird part, about 2 weeks after the purchse of the new gourami another one died, excpet this time it literally dissapeared, i dont know exactly when, maybe i didnt notice at one feed or something, but it was with less than a day. Then the second gourami dissapears, this time within 10 hours, so i thought i should check the whole tank, gravel and all, no sign.

Next thing, i come to my tank tonight and one of my original Glolights has gone, once again vanished without a sign!

Can somebody help???

Thanks, Tom.
 
just covering the basics but you do have a lid on your tank? Disapearing fish...very strange possibly somthing is entering your tank at nite and having a snack? gl :blink:
 
If your fish are vanishing then they are either dieing and being sucked up by your filter - or one of your fish probably the shark is killing and eating them. fish just cant vanish.
 
Agreed with the above, it's either
a) They jumped out
b) They died and were sucked into the filter
c) They died/were killed and eaten by the shark.


Also as a side note.
Only the tetra are suitable for that tank.

The shark needs 200l +
The Gold Gouramis also need 200l+
