[hanse_2020]

hi everyone so question i got a 6 gallon tank. it had 3 clown fish very small now i only got one. first i cant find my favorite one. then today i notice i missing another one. theirs only one left i only got a small eel and a very small puffer, 3 clown were to big for the eel to eat them and hi never bother my clown and my puffer is to hes too soft to mess with the clown fish.


i try searching in the rock and nothing there no dead body around
I try filter are and around the tank and no way they can jump off

6 gallon tank?

6 gallon tank?

yes there very small i post a pic off all 3 together

First thing first, my best guess if you can’t find them in or around the tank the eel got them, you be surprised even how small it is, it could still eat them.

second thing, that tank is way too small to be housing all those fish. Surprised ammonia hasn’t killed them first. Small tanks will make them become territorial.

How small was the clown? That eel can swallow things twice to three times the diameter of its own head.

Lids are very important, did you check your filtration if you have a sump he might've squeezed in there you'd be surprised. I wouldnt keep more than even 2 fish in a 9 gallon, but i wouldnt be surprised if it worked out for you. I wouldnt doubt the eel eating a fish all and all it's a bad situation for all your fish, as long as you keep your eel well fed he might stop but I would check his belly

At night my clown fish swim at the bottom corner of my tank near the sand bed. They would be easy prey.

yes
