:crazy: OK, if any of you remember me, I'm the guy who looses fish on a daily basis. I had two tetras(black skirts), and when my angels were losing fins the tetras were blamed. I NEVER SAW THEM GO AFTER ANY OTHER FISH THOUGH....

I still think it was a bacterial infection, but the angels eventually died. I got rid of the tetras. Now, my silver shark has an entire fin missing on his right side. Why do fish constantly attack each other? It's so frustrating. I have 1 pleco left, a african clawed frog(which I'm told by LFS owners is NOT a fin nipper), and 2 shrimp. I had 3 shrimp, but surprise surprise ...it's gone...poof!:sly: . My question is who ate my sharks entire fin, and how do I find out? I want to keep the frog, and can't afford a new tank. They get big and I need my 30 gallon. Can it be him? Do pleco's eat fins? Ghost shrimp....? :dunno:
 
What type of pleco is it?

As to the frog, little known fact but frogs do have teeth, they're used for grabbing, not ripping or tearing, however if it only got a fin and the shark managed to pull away... I'm seriously thinking it could be the frog, which aren't good community fish from what I remember.... :/ Sorry.
 
African Clawed Frogs will eat any fish they can get their hands on if the fish are small enough for them. I have ADF and they go after my khuli loaches from time to time. The loaches are 4 times their size. My guess is the frog is your culprit.
