Ross Posted October 29, 2008 Report Share Posted October 29, 2008 so in the last month ive been slowly losing fish in my 80 gallon tank.... now i have 8 angel fish in it, like 15 cories, and then one goldfish, and one 7 inch pleco i lost a wood shrimp, a flying fox, and 2 other plecos. these were all slow moving fish and tended to rest around on the bottom and be sluggish at night. who would be the culprit? is it most likely the pleco like im assuming?

I dont think it would be the angles, it is the pleco.He might just be hungry, what do you feed it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vallisneria Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 (edited) When you find the dead fish what do they look like? Any symptoms? Are they half eaten? They are fine the night before and then you find them dead? Are you sure they are being killed and not just dying, then being snacked on(if they look eaten)? What is your water parameters?

roypark05 Posted October 30, 2008 Report Share Posted October 30, 2008 Never ever saw a pleco attack another fish. Surprised you said your not a fan of them, I think they're cool. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
