My Earth Eater

[caboose_122]

i woke up this morning to feed my fish and found to my surprise my earth eater has one one eye! i dont know who the culprit could be i have these in my tank:
1 paradise fish, 1 moonlight gourami, 1 killifish, 1 weather loach, 2 angel fish, 1 eel, 2 african butterfly fish, senegal bicher,

im sad that this happened and i know that he wont live much longer, i have him in my hospital tank right now so, hopefully the best will come for him

what size tank are they in? -- Key question, may be aggression issues.

1 paradise fish, -- Possible it was him.
1 moonlight gourami, -- I dont think so
1 killifish, -- Probably.
1 weather loach, -- nope, but are coldwater and need to be in temps of around 20c
2 angel fish, -- Possible
1 eel, -- what eel? some are aggrssive Possible
2 african butterfly fish, -- Nope, rarely come down
1 senegal bichir, -- possible, will eat anthing under half of its size.

BOLD = Probably your culprit

Killifish do eat eyes actually DiscusAngel. What are the sizes of these fish would be an important question to ask first.

tbh, killifish live at the top, earth eaters at the bottom. id be suprised it was. ill pt it on the possible list.

To be honest, have you seen a golden panchax eat fish about 2" long? It doesn't matter what level they are on, they will move around, especially at night. They could have all done it in fairness just some are more probable than others.

The gourami would be a possible culprit to., they can be evil critters at times.

Fish can live just fine with 1 eye.

Id vote for the Killis, my Panchax will try get anything in their mouths

im guessing it was the killi, it is a golden panchax killi, the earth eater is about 2 inches, same as the killi
