Missing Fish

[Apolloefc]

One of my baby mollies has vanished? Not exactly a baby it was about a small neon size. No sign of it for about a week. Suggestions?

what other fish are in the tank? It might have become lunch for one of them Also, check inside your filter. It may have gotten sucked into that. If it passed away, it will probably have been scavanged

I shall investigate the filter when i get in then

One fish was indeed dead. The other is just MIA.

However, another of the baby mollies (this is actually platy size now) looks a lathargic. I'm a bit worried. All the other fish are fine just this poor little fella.

what are your water stats? ammonia? nitrite? nitrate? pH? how long did you cycle before adding fish? how long have you had the fish?

all the stuff is fine. Its just the little mollies that are dying? My 5 neons, 3 platys, 1 sucker and 1 catfish are fine. 4 mollies have died in the past 5 days. I suspect the whitespot i had was from them and my sisters tank and with them being quite translucent and tiny i didnt notice it in time. It was only that its very hard to miss it in the neons that i caught on. The biggest baby who died yesterday seemed to be struggling to breathe so i suspect that is what has happened. I just hope the remaining 3 hold on. Im gutted

we need the numbers for the stats, what size is the tank and how long has it been running?
