Yesterday one of my neon tetra’s died. I noticed this at dinner time but was too lazy to remove it so i left it in the tank. The next day in the afternoon i came home from school and decided to remove the dead neon tetra, but i couldn’t find the corpse. There is no trace of it whatsoever.
I have a 10 gallon tank with 3 neon tetras(originally 4 but one died as i stated above), 2 assorted guppies, 2 lyretail guppies, and 1 chinese algae eater. I also have some baby triops (not even half an inch long yet). I actually saw one of the triops eating the neon tetra, but theres no way he could’ve finished the whole corpse.
I’m thinking that my chinese algae eater is the culprit? Can someone enlighten me?
Anyhow, here’s a video of the triop trying to eat the dead neon tetra:
