Dead Fish Question

[Paul Gale]

I lost a Molly last week, couldn't find him at all .. After the birth of My guppy fry .. I've been studying my tank .. looking for the little mites .. and I've noticed that the plastic plant they are hiding under (its a corner plant ) has got a dead fish underneath it . should I remove the fish and scare my babies or leave him to feed the fishes ?

take it out.

dead fishes may contain bacteria or parasites inside them which would be transmitted to any other fish that eats them.


P.T.

Remove it right away. It could be carrying disease and at the very least it could contaminate your water.

I agree with the above, besides...would you eat something dead laying on the ground? Okay bad question...i might if i was hungry enough...I mean...no...wait....ah too late.

It could screw with your water chemistry. You could get an ammonia spike if it was left in there too long. I suggest a water change.
