There was another murder last night. I came home and the two Kribs were in solitary confinement, but in the larger tank. The body of the newest guppy had already been taken to the Flush-atorium. Horrified at the sight of the poor fish sequestered in baggies at the top of the tank I made the children free them. All I wanted was a friend for poor little Henry, the gold fish, who is now the prime suspect de jour being as he was present at every one of the deaths... to include poor little Bob! I don't think I can take another death, followed by a heart-broken child. Becca, who has lost 2 guppies, has been so tramatized that she has vowed not to eat fish for an entire year. From now on the only pets these kids will have will be pet rocks! You don't have to feed or water them, you don't have to clean up after them, and best of all, they don't die!

Hey, I don't know if they're being eatten by a fish in there, but you really shouldn't keep goldfish with other fish, since they are very dirty fish and will destroy a whole tank of fish. Try removing the goldy and see if that works.
Otherwise, I don't know what to tell you. :(
Blessings.

Somehow I missed that you had a goldfish. They really are incompatible with the others you have in there. First off, they are freshwater carp, and are more comfortable at much lower temperatures than the other tropical fish you have in there. Secondly, as someone else alluded to, their maintenance requirements are different. You should put the goldfish in the smaller tank (as long as it is at least 10 gallons) with no heater, and make sure you do frequent water changes. Put all of the tropical fish together in the other aquarium.

Somehow I missed that u had a goldfish. They are killers! Gold fish and tropical fish do not mix well. They are real dirty too.
LMAO my sympathy goes out to you and yours.
Dang it's like a blood bath in your tank! I hope you pin down the killer soon.

That is so cool on winning the PS2. The fish situation is pretty hairy!
I've learned not to keep anything other than goldfish, in a tank with other goldfish. They are killers and will eat the other fish. I don't care what anyone says, everyone I've had would kill another fish put in the same tank with them. Plus, I think they are the nastiest fish. Also, when buying fish, ask if the fish you are buying are aggressive towards other fish.
