i bought 5 Serpae Tetra when i first got my tank. 4 were fine, but 1 i thought would die the first week i had it. it wouldnt eat, and its eyes were glazed over and white. A couple weeks went by, his eyes looked fine, he still wouldnt eat, but he was still around. He would just hide in the corners. He had basically no colour to him either...

anyways, about a week ago i noticed he was gone. i took my whole tank apart looking for him but he was no where to be found.

I cant see anything eating him.... except maybe my cat. My tank is only a 20 gallon, so his big butt cant fit on top...

hmmm

The other fish could've, and probably did eat it. The problem mainly arises when healthy fish consume an ill fish.

Is it possible that you removed it in a waterchange by accident?
Maybe it could've jumped from the tank and become a carpet critter? (or non-carpet critter depending on the floor-type. )

thats what im thinking, is that it got sucked up the gravel vac....

i saw it before the water change, then i looked a couple hours after and it was gone....

hmmm..... doesnt make sense, haha
