Cichlid Kid Fish Addict Posts: 553 Kudos: 285 Votes: 34 Registered: 22-May-2004	i have a 55G that is cycled for about 2 months now with silver dollars five tiger barbs{had 8} a red tailed shark, and 6 julli corys used to have seven jullies. so ive found 2 dead tiger barbs and one just vanished and now i noticed out of the old seven cories only 6 remain. my question is who is the culprit here, im guessing shark or dollars what do you all think, i thought the cories would be safe bc of there barb in their spinal fin

It probably didn't kill the fish to eat, but because they were in its territory (which in a 55 will probably be the whole tank). RTBS are great-looking fish, but they can be a problem in community tanks. Sounds like you got a particularly mean one. ><>
