Rob1619 Fish Addict Posts: 763 Kudos: 619 Votes: 626 Registered: 01-Sep-2004	I was doing waterchange yesterday and what did i found...CAE and Half of his body is missing..The CAE was 5-6cm long. Iam also missing 2 cories but cant find them at all.This is making me crazy I think the guilty fish must be the pearl cichlid,what do you think? I have these fish in my 75g tank: 1 RTS Albino..he is small..around 5-6cm 1 Hoplo catfish arond 10cm big 4 Golden Angels (small..5cm) 3 Zebra danios 1 Common pleco..around 8-10cm big 1 Pearl cichlid 10-12cm big..The guilty one.. 5 cories..had 7..3-4cm big 1 baby Feather-fin catfish..3-4cm big I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

I assume he probably died of some other cause, and said tankmates were merely exploiting a free food source. Last edited by Cup_of_Lifenoodles at 05-Aug-2005 15:46

Maybe the Pearl Cichlid, but really not sure. Have you ever seen any aggression between them?. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

Rob1619 Fish Addict Posts: 763 Kudos: 619 Votes: 626 Registered: 01-Sep-2004	Thats strange because the CAE looks like it was cut in half..maybe it died of other cause and some fish has eaten it..i have seen the pearl cichlid chase some of my fish but not really fighting.What about my 2 cories...they are gone,no trace at all I know human beings and fish can co-exist peacefully.

Did you check, under any Driftwood or caves?. http://uk.pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/s8xi5heh/my_photos http://www.geocities.com/s8xi5heh/classic_blue.html http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buzaqq/ http://www.flickr.com/photos/corydoras/ Member of the Malta Aquarist Society - 1970. http://www.maltaaquarist.com

I used to own CAE's and they can take it and dish it out.. But being deceased I'd look elsewhere for the problem. I'm curious as to what a nitrate test would turn up. Also, any new fish added recently ? RTS or cichlid if I had to pick a 'whodunit' Last edited by DaFishMan at 05-Aug-2005 15:35 The Amazon Nut...
