Help with my guppies.

SouthernJustice · 07-09-2005, 10:28 PM

Ok, I used to have about 10 feeder type guppies in my 10 gallon tank (see below). I had just them and my betta in their until I slowly accumulated the other fish. I liked to keep them because they look cool in their little scholols. However all but 1 have died - however, I have only cleaned out about 4 dead ones... where would they go!? I don't remember how many I found dead with just the betta. My friend had some that died by getting stuck in the rock gravel, but I think it was because the gravel was quite big and had many entry points where the guppies could figit in and get stuck.. So I don't think that they are getting stuck in my small red gravel, and there were no guppies stuck INSIDE the filter, + there is no way they could get in but I thought it wouldnt hurt to check. Could the fish that I have be eating them or what? It's kind of strange but I'm sure you guys have heard of missing fish before. The guppies *were* pretty small at about 1/2 to 3/4 an inch (feeder guppies).

I really doubt that... I admit that the fish may (Ouch sorry) 'take' a dead fish's eyes or even internal organs away but I don;t think they can disappear that way...
Sorry
