How Long To Eat A Dead Fish 'till Naught Remains?

[doktor doris]

Hiya chaps,

Last night when I went abed one of my tanks had 4 zebra danios, and about 20 assorted small fish.

This morning I could only see 3 zebras.

I have looked everywhere so I can only conclude that it died and was completely consumed.

Is that possible?
Or have the remains become hidden somewhere so completely that I haven't found them yet?

Depending on your "assorted fish" it certainly isnt impossibe for one to be consumed over night. It's sad but it's nature

Check your filter.

The other fish are only mollies, gupps, platties, N tetra, and G tetras.

Check your filter.

Aha!

You know in cartoons when they draw rubbish it often contains a fish head attached to spine, with a tail upon the end?

That's what I found in my filter, lord knows how it got in there, it looks to be far to big to fit through the intake slots!

Cheers fishdude.

I have had that happen a few times. It dies, gets stuck to the filter and the other fish peck at it until it slips into the filter.
