Do you have any snails in there at all? If its been attacked and killed and maybe half eaten the snails will have done the rest.

One of my fish died a few days back and before I have got time to get the dead fish out the snails had swarmed it and dragged it off feasting on it, Well I left them to it thinking it good to create a kinda natural environment where this sort of thing would happen every day, within 2days the snails have more or less eaten the bones of the fish...

No i have no snails

Kribs can and will eat small fish such as neons.

We thought we lost 2 corys a few months back. When we changed tanks we fished everyone out and as we removed the filter we found them hiding under it, my first thought was they were dead but when the net got near them they were off like a shot. We also found a living neon in that tank we thought we had fished out 10 months ago with the other 9. It must have been living in fear on its own. When the newly discovered corys went into the new tank they shot off and we haven't seen them since. The neon joined the school.

I hope they are hiding under the filter, it would be nice to see them once in a while, maybe subdued lighting would bring them out. Or blue LEDs or something.

Just going to jump on the bandwagon here and say my baby Neon has dissappeared too. It was about 15mm long. I have 4 mollys, and about 10 fry, hopefully it is in the plants somewhere, but Ive not seen it for a few days now.

Does anyone know if its been eaten by my Mollys

I've lost two neons recently too. Added a few plants, then the next day they were gone! They've either died under the log, or were eaten really quickly by the snails.

I'm going to add a "Me, too!" A few weeks ago, my female balloon molly who was nursing an eye infection disappeared when I woke up one morning in a tank with 5 other 3 month old mollies and an adult female molly!! I figured she died during the night and became breakfast for the others---ickkkk!

Any other theories, I'd appreciate it!
