Mysteriously Dissapearing Fish?

Question

My fish are mysteriously dissapearing. We (my fish lovin dad and i) think that the other fish may have ate them. One that dissapeared was kinda big but there were two smaller ones also. Unless my fish are dying and my dad's just flushing them and is too embarrased to tell me, i have no idea where they went. Does anyone noe what kinds of aggressive fish eat others.

Answer 1

what type of fish do you have ??? there are so many aggressive fish. in my tank there is only 1 that doesn't take feeder fish.

Answer 2

They jumped or died. That's about the only possibilities (unless your instincts about your Dad and the old flusharoo are correct).

One a fish dies, the other fish will eat on the corpse, regardless of what kind of fish you have. With fish, it's nothing personal, strictly business.

Answer 3

Well it depends on the species, If there is a larger fish that eats almost anythin. It probably got eaten. Seperate the suspects from the others and see if any more get eaten, if no more disapears youve found the problem.

Answer 4

What kind of fish do you have? What kind of fish went missing? Is your hood on the tank? Could they have jumped out? More info would help!

I used to have lots of oscar fish and one of them kept killing and eating them all!
