MattyM Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 Did they jump? From what I've read on Denison Barbs they need large groups and a large tank, otherwise they can become aggressive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NOLANANO Posted August 2 Share Posted August 2 (edited) In total you have had 32 fish disappear? No judgment, just making sure I understand the situation. Do they disappear one at a time or you wake up and 10 fish are gone? Is the background fit to the glass or is it possible for fish to get pinned between the glass and the background? I ask because if you do have a bully in the tank (either Denison Barbs or the Gouramis if I had to guess) then its possible that the smaller fish are going behind the background to hide and then either get stuck or just starve to death. Its also possible they just jumped out but I'd think you would have found a body or 2 if 32 fish jumped out. Edited August 2 by NOLANANO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IlhamSetiawan Posted August 2 Author Share Posted August 2 I don't think they jump since my tank has lid, also they disappeared one at a time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Colu Posted August 3 Share Posted August 3 (edited) I agree with @NOLANANO any chance they got behind your 3-D background and died did you notice any ammonia spikes that would indicate a dead fish in the tank around the time you had fish disappear @IlhamSetiawan Edited August 3 by Colu 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

One at a time you probably have more MTS than you know cleaning up the deceased in very short time. I would also check behind the 3d background Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thats may be, but my suspect is the filter intake, because it has wide gap Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
