I awoke to find my aquarium temp @ 39c. I have now replaced the heater and everything is back to normal - or so it seems.

But all of my neons died, x-ray tetra and one silvertip. Th other silvertips survived and my male betta is alvie (thank the fish god).

Anyway in the tank there lived a Dwarf Albino Corey and he doesn't live there anymore and I didn't remove him from the tank. I know he died because of the heat but just can't find him. I have removed all of the objects he could have hidden and he isn't there, he hasn't jumped out because he can't and I have no fish bigger than a silvertip tetra apart from Elivs my male beta which is two inches long.

The lfs said "ooh, he's probably been eaten when he died" but can this happen to a fish bigger than the rest and within 7 hours of me sleeping and leave no bones.

The theory could be that there is a fish fairy that comes at..... No , no only kidding - but where could he be.

This posting is in the memory of the fish that lost their lives in the great heat of 2003.

Alright, this actually happened to my boyfriend. His little cousin came over and played with the heater and made it to 40C. Unfortunately his family then left with his cousin to their cottage for the weekend and returned to find many dead fish. Some had actually DISINTEGRATED!!! That could have happened to your cory, or I guess he could have been eaten but not as likely. His pleco managed to survive the heat and lives to this day.
