Title: A Dither Fish Tale
Post by: thebbqguy on July 28, 2015, 05:51:52 PM

When I started my tank I purchased 10 zebra danios to help with the cycling. A couple were lost in the initial cycling, but most survived.

A couple of weeks ago I noticed one of the remaining danios was missing all of the sudden unexpectedly. I had suctioned the tank a couple of hours earlier and although I don't think I sucked up a fish I chalked it up to a possibility.

But yesterday I was missing a couple more and now have figured out where they are going.

My Oscar is snacking on them.

Lol, Yep!   That's why I always suggest using Silver Dollars. They're the only thing I've had any luck using.

I tried angelfish, but the suction on my AC 110 proved to be too much for them.
