Rainbow Fish Problems

[althebowler]

I have three Boesemans, and five neon rainbow fish in my tank, i added five blue eyed forktail rainbow fish. The problem is i lost one of the forktail after a day and another a fortnight later, i wondered if they had been eaten by the Boesemans, i could not find the bodies. They were always being chased around by the other fish

Probably!

I've had a couple of fish die on me and it is not uncommon for fish to eat other dead fish. I wouldn't say they will do it whilst they are alive, especially between rainbows but if they were bullied they could have died from the stress then eaten or may have come in with problems.
