Missing Fish

[Joshi39]

Hi!

I have only just got myself a two foot tank. I had a smaller tank with two yabbies both around 4-5 cms in length and i had twelve neon tetras which all went missing but three, Once i transfered them into the two foot tank i got myself two princess tetras and two green terrors, followed closely by two tiger barbs, two runny nose tetras and a black ghost knife fish. After a few nights my neons were gone, and today i notice one of my runny nose tetras are gone, I have been told green terrors will eat smaller fish, but im not so concerned about them, as i think the problem are the yabbies. Can anyone help me here? Do i get rid of the yabbies or the green terrors?? My mate seems to think it is the yabbies eating them!

Cheers

that black ghost knife fish needs a lot more than a 2ft tank i'm afraid, same for the green terrors

Agree about the BGKF, they need a 5-6ft tank as it can grow anywhere between 18-24 inches long

WWellll atm its only 4-5 cms long so i have time!! also, just adding to my previous post. i just sat and watched the fish once the timer had turned the light off... and the green terrors are the ones eating the fish, they were chasing and biting at the lst runny nose tetra, cornering it and trying to attack it! As of tomorrow they are going back! i dont want grumpy fish in my tank!
