Dead Fish

[Freenow54]

So I introduced some fish to my tank yesterday. One got caught up in the net and was injured. It seemed ok about half an hour later. So Day three I Fed them. Before Today the one actually ate. I have read about people having fish " disappear " on this site. My question is since I can not find it or a body, and I have other fish to consider. Is one dead inch and a half fish in the tank going to cause huge issues? I know its harsh but it is what it is.

How big is the tank and do you have a clean up crew?

I would just let the clean up crew do its job. Sorry for the loss!

sorry for the late reply. No clean up crew. Never did find the fish strange and concerning. I would disturb too much if I started to yank out rocks, and it might be on the flor in some tucked away spot. The remaining fish are thriving. I have never seen a tang devour misis shrimp like it does even though I give them flakes and Nori

A female Lyretail Anthias. I was told should keep odd numbers. I had three I want to get more but the other fish are doing so well don't want to take the chance of introducing them to the display. Not a big fan of QT I am not good at it and I don't think the fish like it much a lot of stress on then I think
