More missing fish - weird.

I'm hoping this is in the right spot. Sorry, if it isn't!

So in my 9g I have (or had!) 5 rummy nose tetras, 5 corydoras catfish and Smurf the betta. They've been together for ages now & no problems.

The rummy nose have always tended to stay in the mid to bottom area of the tank.

Last night I cleaned the tank (as per normal) and rearranged the plants a little, bit of variety so to speak. Anyway, I woke up this morning and looked in on them. The rummy nose were flying all over the tank (bottom, middle & top!)....they've always been active wee dudes but they were more active than I've ever seen them. I was thinking "wow, that's what rearranging a "room" will do for ya". Then I looked closer & seen that I had a dead tetra. Another tetra is missing. I've searched around the tank & checked the filter. No luck. No sign of him at all.

Seems to be the month for fish MIA kizno!

I'm wondering if anyone has any idea why the tetras are so active now and what maybe happened the dead tetra? I checked the water and all parameters are good.

Just a bit weird to me.

What kind of plants do you use? Live or silk? I thought one of my neon tetra feeders was missing, but he had died and was wrapped up in a silk plant. Also this morning my last neon tetra was dead, he was fine last night, moving around eating good and such and this morning I couldn't find him, he was attached to the filter. Su is the only feeder left now, he's amazing, he's lived through the deaths of Herby, Shimmer, Shemp, Curly and now Moe. Strong little guppy.

I use silk plants & I've given the tank such a going over. I'll check again later on but I'm stumped.

Check the silk plants really good, shake them out in water, that is how I found Curly

what are your water stauts?
have you looked out side the tank and above the light bulb? no one seems to be having any luck reasently.

Like you, I've looked absolutely everywhere kiz. My tank has a hood so there's no way 1 could have got out of the actual tank. V. strange.

yh i know exactly what you mean. no little gaps at the back for wires or bits? have yoou looked around the light incase it vcould have got stuck behind it?

Found him. It was as Sheena said, he was nestled between 2 leaves that overlap slightly. They must not have moved when I was looking around the tank the first time. Sad but at least I know where he is now.

Once these last 3 have gone I'm done with tetras....no luck whatsoever with them.

sorry to hear shame after you have had them for a while.

Don't worry kiz, I'm sticking with the cory's!

sounds good :] atleast the corys have worked out ok.

Yeah, they seem like hardy wee buggers.

yh i like corys as well just dont get lilacamy started on them lol

Its her fault & yours that I'm in love with them right now.

lol you didnt have to buy them

Well if you two hadn't talked about them so much I probably wouldn't have!

lol you know what i thikn you should get some panda corys arewell there the best corys you really need some oj

Glad you found him Irish, it was driving me insane when I couldn't find Curly, sorry! RIP little guy!

See, you & your cory' chit chat kiz!
