some bugger has just eaten my black molly

Just noticed one of my black mollies had disappeared tonight and
there's not a trace of the poor bugger, all that's in the tank are
platies, a red tail shark, some small clowns and a couple of ottos

I guess he must have died sometime since last night and the others had
him for a snack, but I'm amazed I can't find even a trace of what's
left

Stress from the always patrolling shark could have started things rolling...
molly tries to sleep, shark says "SURPRISE" molly dies, gets eaten,
everybody gets some....

usually there won't even be scraps left over... Otos and loaches will take
care of the cleaning for you....

Rather to my amazment he reappeared this evening - I would give
serious money to know where he hid - however it's clear he has been in
a major fight, tail and fins ripped to shreads. Problem is I can't
work out who did the battering, since the other two mollies are in
reasonable condition

Oh well

It was the shark... I know.... now send me the 'serious money'

I've put him in an isolation tank to recover for a few weeks

But you haven't won your "serious money", where was the mollie was
hiding :¬)

Brian

ok, I'm placing my money on, under or in a/some decoration that you have..

If you have anything with a pinky's width hole in it, I bet it went into it
to evade the shark....

If you have plants, in the 'V" of the stems, I've seen some of my loaches
hiding/sleeping....

if it were me, I'd want to know, so you can check there if it ever happens
again.....

that does suck though, sharks are just that way, that's what they'll do....
