Nate710 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 (edited) I just got back from a 5 day vacation and can’t find my tiger barb anywhere. It was the last survivor from the school I had a few months back. I had an automatic feeder set at the back of my lid while I was gone. Tank has been well established for over a year. I tested water immediately, Ammonia and nitrites are at 0 ppm, nitrates are at 10 ppm. I checked the whole surrounding area to see if we had a jumper no luck. I have a pre filter sponge so no way he’s in the HOB. tank is a 75 gallon stocked with; 8 skirt tetras 4 pictus catfish 2 Blue acaras 1 super red pleco 1 dwarf gourami Edited November 27, 2022 by Nate710 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guppysnail Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Your pictus, pleco and other fish most likely took care of the remains if he passed. Check behind the prefilter sponge for any remains. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nabokovfan87 Posted November 27, 2022 Share Posted November 27, 2022 Check behind the tank in the floor. Around the openings on the lid. Very sorry for your loss. Do you know what happened to the school? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least you know it wasn't a jumper. Some time this week the last of my Zebra Danios will likely join your Green Tiger Barb. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very sorry for your loss. Do you know what happened to the school? I originally had 4 total. The second I put them in they all were aggressive with each other. I think they just bullied each other to death unfortunately. Once I was down to one I decided to let him live out his best life without buying anymore. He was fine very active, even seemed to school with my skirt tetras a lot. Not to sure what made him pass though, he was healthy before I left. 🤷🏻♂️ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
