hiya kevin

if you've got any dead fish in the tank you do need to remove them before they pollute the tank

Yes, you definitely should remove it.

If it's been missing fir a week it may well have been eaten by now, but you had best search for it just in case

I had a cardinal tetra go missing about 2 weeks ago and I have not been able to find, not at the time or recently when I totally re-arranged the tank. It doesn't smell and my levels are ok.

 

[rsz]

Yes, I've had that happen too, cheese, A zebra danio went missing and I never found it

uh - the other day I read a post about people finding fish behind their tanks where the fish had jumped out of inch long gaps....

 

[babyfish]

A small fish can be eaten very quickly
