Missing fish
In the last week I've had a royal gramma and a tail spot blenny go missing. Both fish were eating great and healthy. Now today one of my cleaner shrimp is missing.
Parameters are: Temp 78 pH 8.25 Ammonia 0 Nitrite 0 Nitrate 0 Phosphate 0 (finding hard to believe as I've had a minor cyano outbreak lately) Cal 420 Alk 8 Mag 1210 The only thing I've done is increase the flow on my tunze's by a measily 10%, but this was after the tail spot and gramma were already MIA. Both were relatively new additions, within the last month, but they were fitting in fine. I checked my sump and overflows as best I could. I found one larger hermit crab that could be a suspect but I've had him since I first added my CUC and he never caused issues before. Anyone have any ideas? I don't want anyone else to dissapear. ETA: I highly doubt I have a mantis or something in there. The only new LR I've gotten has been placed in the sump. |
royal grammas are notorious for hiding for days at a time, mine went MIA for 2 weeks then appeared out of nowhere.

I also do have a cat in the house so if they both decided to jump it's not unrealistic to say that the cat would have destroyed (eaten) all evidence. |
What else is in the tank?

Purple tang Midas Blenny 3 clownfish 2 (1?) Cleaner shrimp 2 Peppermint shrimp 1 fire shrimp a few dozen hermits and snails. Could it be the RBTA...? Also forgot to say Salinity is 1.026 which shouldn't matter. |
Though I doubt they would both jump it is absolutely possible for a cat to eat them without a trace remaining. My cat loves whole silversides lol.
