SarayParay Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 So all day today things were good. I go to feed them dinner and I find one of my Panda’s is half eaten. I have no idea who ate him or what happened! It is my 10 gallon. 1 male betta 2 (now 1) Pandas 4 Amano shrimp I am so sad! I used to have 5 pandas but 3 of them died late July/August due to high nitrates. I’m so sad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlackLabelCarling Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 Ugh I’m sorry about your Panda! It most likely died and then was scavenged upon. 😞 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, corys will eat decaying fish so will the shrimp. I’m not sure about a betta. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted October 4, 2020 Share Posted October 4, 2020 I have never seen a betta eat a decaying fish. I wonder if there is a connection between the high nitrates and the fatalities, meaning could the first fatality caused the high nitrates (death → ammonia → nitrate)?
