Pet Forum / Aquaria / Marine Reef / August 2007What could be attacking my fish
I only have a few fish (now anyways) a couple of green chromis, a maroon clown and a 6 line wrasse. All appear healthy, happy and get along. However from time to time, one of my fish just dissappear. They are eating fine and look fine, and then overnight they dissappear. Today I noticed that the 6 line wrasse has a huge chunk out of him. How can I find out what is attacking my fish? > I only have a few fish (now anyways) a couple of green chromis, a > maroon clown and a 6 line wrasse.

Do you have a fair amount of live rock, and the tank was set up in the last 12-18 months? Sounds like you have some kind of nocturnal ambush predator as a hitch-hiker on your LR... maybe a mantis shrimp, or something similar. Try hanging out with a flashlight after lights out, and see if you can confirm it. There are traps for all kinds of nasties, if you can get a positive ID. Regards, DaveZ I had the same problem when my tank was new, I though there was a black hole in my tank where at night my fish would disappear. not even a sign of the caucus. Eventually it stopped but I never did find out what it was. But I agree with atomwaever about the night preditor this is a very real possibility >> I only have a few fish (now anyways) a couple of green chromis, a >> maroon clown and a 6 line wrasse.

If something is in there, it's likely to be more interested in showing itself. --Kurt > > Try hanging out with a flashlight after lights out, and see if you can > > confirm it.

Jeze thats what Peter Pan the peter eater does when he ambushes guys so lick their peckers does.Learned it from Wayne and his little bosom buddy Kurt the c.nt.......................The problem is its Gill Passman is sneaking in there and stealing yuor fish you dumbasses. She has a passion for dead stinking nasty fish............and she loves to feed them to her lesbo buddy TYNK the chick with a dick..........who also smells like a dead fish......... You might have something in that that you don't know about, but you might have something in there that you didn't know would hurt your fish. What all do you have in there that you know about?

SignaturePosted via a free Usenet account from http://www.teranews.com The one thing that concerns me is that about a year and a bit ago, I found a small black crab in the tank that must have hitch hiked on some rock. At the time he was about the size of a quarter. I saw him the other day and he was at least 2 inches with 1 inch claws, and the guy is real fast. If he is the culprit, how do I go about getting rid of him.... >You might have something in that that you don't know >about, but you might have something in there that [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] >> Today I noticed that the 6 line wrasse has a huge chunk out of him. >> How can I find out what is attacking my fish? Put a short glass in the tank with a dead shrimp in the bottom of the glass, and place it next to the rock so that it can easily climb in, but not climb out.
