OK, so on saturday night I definately had all 5 of my neons, I know because I counted them them at feeding time to check they were all there (as I usually do).
But on Sunday mornng I could only find 4 of them. Had a good look in the tank, even rummaged in the bushes, lifted things up, lifted lids off my slate caves (much to the annoyance of the shrimps!!) but still no sign of the last neon. I spent 1bout 20 minutes searching in the tank amonsgst plants and decor and I can't see it or a dead body anywhere.
with the fish not coming out for feeding, still no sign of it today, I am thinking it might have died; but I cant find any dead body and am a bit concerned now for pollution/disease etc. if there is a dead fish in the water somewhere.
If the fish had died, could the other fish, shrimps and snails have eaten a body in around 24hrs?? Is one dead neon going to affect the water parameters to a dangerous level (ammonia spike for example)?? Should I keep a daily check on ammonia or anything??
Cheers
