Hello everyone,
I'm new here... i came here in desperation to find out if anyone have any explanation to what happened to my Betta fish!
As I'm writing this thread, I remain dumbfounded to how on earth my Betta just disappeared from my tank!
I have had a beautiful half moon Betta with a lot of personality. I've had him for about three months. He's been sharing a 12 gallon tank with three African dwarf frogs, 4 tiny Amano shrimps, 2 tiny ghost shrimps, Olive Nirate snails, and Malaysian trumpet snails. He's very active and very personable. He eats from my hands and he loves it when I rub my hands on him. Today, I went to the tank to feed him and he was no where to be found!!! I have a covered tank and there's no holes on the cover whatsoever! It has a pump, air bubbler and biological filtration. So him being sucked into a filter is out of the question! I opened the pump, and he wasn't there. I tore out my tank... emptied all the water out emptied the gravel and inspected carefully for him or even any his remains... and there wasn't any trace of him!
Even though it was a closed tank and there would be no way for him to have escaped, I did look on the floor and he wasn't there. Cat is out of the question also. So, please, if someone have the slightest idea of how on earth my Betta just dropped out of the face of the earth, I would really appreciate an answer! What happened really doesn't make sense at all!
Please help!
