where do your dead fish go?

[jjb81speed]

when my fish die they leave without a trace. does that happen to anyone else? i can understand for some smaller fish but when i lost my 4" powder blue tang it left without a single trace. i do have a cleaner shrimp but im not sure if it can chomp a 4" tang without me noticing.

thanks guys!!!!!!

you would be amazed what quick work your shrimp, starfish, crabs, etc make of your fish. I had a purple queen anthias die a few weeks ago... I could see its body but couldnt get to it....so I chose to just watch. It was gone in a matter of hours. My brittle star was ALL OVER IT. Nas snails, hermit crabs, mini-stars... all made quick work of it. Good times.

I once had a red open brain eat a yellow tang. I wish I could have gotten a picture of that.

well i saw my fish before it died when it was going out. it was another 3 hours and poof, it was gone.......no sign of it.

One time I had a 6"+ tang on its way to the fish Ocean in the sky, so I gave him a little shove into my (at the time) 12" RBTA. He was gone in like 2 minutes. YUM!

my hermits finish them off

this is why i need a video camera on my tank 24-7.

[JOSE CASAS]

Thats one of those thing that make you go hhhhhhhmmmmmmmm!!!!!!!!

[jjb81speed]

i just want to see a dead fish for closure.

This is too funny. I too have witnessed my CUC devour a dead fish within hours...I guess that's what they're there for.

LOL on the closure comment.

if a powder blue tang can be consumed in a few hours it seems like we must not be feeding our critters enough.

all ive got is a cleaner shrimp and two small hermits. i knew the shrimp could do something reasonable but didnt think it could crush a 4" fish in a couple of hours.

that's werid, i notice that most ppl have hard time trying to find a dead fish or so, but i can always find my dead fish even a small chorime...i have 7 cleaner shrimps and 30+ hermit crabs...

[bromion]

I lost two blue-green chromises and found neither body. I imagine they were consumed by the many worms and crabs in the tank. The worms make incredibly quick work of anything dead, and the crabs are pretty good at finding that stuff, too.
