I came home to two dead fish (both Hora loaches), several plants uprooted and my sunken pirates ship floating at the top of the tank. The Loaches had been in the tank for almost 2 months with no problems (I have 1 Jordans Catfish, 1 Upside Down Catfish, and 1 Betta (male)). I have a 12 gal Marineland in the hood filter and live plants. I feed (Tropical flakes, Betta pellets, Catfish sinking pellets) 2 times a day and Bloodworms every other day. Both the Betta and the Catfish readily take food from my hands and they seem to pal around together (they also are terrified of the upside down fish). All three are doing great. What caused the Loaches death? I'm assume somebody killed them, due to the carnage. I want to add some schooling fish, any sugestions? My Betta is a marble, with long fins.
I'm working on getting a 55 or 120 gallon tank as I know my Jordans Catfish will get too large for my 12 gal (when I get that could I have 6 Angel Fish in with him)? Any suggestions for this tank?
