Was someone feeding them? Surely they could tell you how long it has been missing?
Depending on when it died it could have been consumed.
Jumped out of the tank (look for a mummified fish).
It died and the people feeding them threw it out figuring you wouldn't notice it was missing.
I am going to have to come and visit you :lol:
Where in Ireland are you? We are planning a trip to Scotland so could venture a bit further afield while over there
I have to wonder about the mentality of some people. If my mother did that I wouldn't hate her, I would be concerned about how she felt as I am sure it wasn't deliberate. Grow up guys and show some empathy towards others.
I wouldn't put convicts in with anything! Worse than rabbits. Known as the "just add water and they will breed" fish. Only need a small amount of it too :lol:
Mine were more vicious than yours Anna_&_Chris and they attacked anything that moved - including other convicts.
I have always found these fish will breed if they want to, or not if they don't, regardless of conditions :roll:
They particularly favour tight spots in, or under, driftwood.
Just a bit bigger than the fishes. Doesn't have to be huge. Most fish prefer a tight fit (within reason). The size of the opening is more important as they can more easily defend a small one from predators.
We could possibly offer rides to anyone from Blenheim on a first in first serve basis. If you wanted to come up on the train wilson we could take you from there. Cheaper than flying. This will be a limited offer!
