Fish Missing....What is going on

[bud1]

Hello,

I recently established a new tank. the tank has been running for 1.5 months before I transfer all my stuff from the old tank to the new. Before, I just add more LR. After 2 days of the move. one of the cardinal is missing..I thought it is bound to happen in the new tank...and then 2 more days later. my green chromis is missing ...ok another case of tank moves. another day later I have my most loved dragon is missing as well..that makes it 3 in 5 days. so, I disassemble the rocks in search of the dead body on my fish. and I find nothing. I checked the sump, and the overflow. nothing is there. what is going on? where did my fish gone to. today I find other of my cardinal's tail and fins are broken off by something. But I dont know what it is? does anyone have any idea?

Something in the new rock is eating your fish? Mantis shrimp, octopus, crab or a monster from the deep.

Seriously Did you chack your plumbing maybe? How big were these fish? And you looked at all your rock piece by piece?

Did you check behind the stand? Comb through your sand and see if you find anything there? (Bodies, I meant)

Take all fish out, and start baiting for the next 3 weeks.

yea, I had one of those rock crabs hiding amongst the rocks, that sucker ate good until I found him with his hands in the cookie jar. :x
luckily he was in a Fiji Rock near the top, out he went. 8)
