Have you checked to make sure they aren't hiding. It's also feasable that they jumped out unless you have the tank completely covered. I've had fish jump out of a 2"x6" opening before...

But you are quite overstocked and it could have created a territorial dispute and the other fish (probabally the lab) might of went crazy and killed them. Also you didn't say your water quality either so i would reccomend doing a test and making sure your water is ok. Only reason i say this is because being overstocked of course your nitrates are probabally higher then they should be.

My bet is they died of who knows what and are now dead in there. You should probably try to find their bodies before the other fish eat them in case it is contagious. I agree that noone in that tank could have killed them. Come Play Yahtzee With Me! http://games.atari.com Http://www.myleague.com/yahtgames

keithgh Ultimate Fish Guru Posts: 6371 Kudos: 6918 Votes: 1542 Registered: 26-Apr-2003	I agree nothing could actually kill the Angels in your tank. By now you should have found their hidden remains. I also agree you should do a full water test and several water changes. Keith Near enough is not good enough, therefore good enough is not near enough, and only your best will do.
