Will spotted rafaels eat there own kind???

[jdheff1982]

During my whole cycling mess I had 2 spotted rafaels. For the past week I haveonly been able to find one. Is it possible that the other died and was eaten by the live rafael?? Just curious because it hasn't really contributed to the nitrite and ammonia levels, plus the live one isn't eating the wafers I bought which could mean he is getting his food elsewhere. If anyone has any ideas, let me know??? Thanks!!

He probably would, if it were dead ... have you looked everywhere?!

I practically upturned everything in the tank. The one fell out of the inside of one of the decorations after tapping it to loosen him up. But couldn't find the other. Like I said before, I am not too impressed with these guys. Hmmmmm..........

I've got one rapheal that I see only when I clean the tank. If I throw him out of the cave. He's getting fatter so he must eat, but I've never seen him out. Even late at night when everyone's sleeping and I'm sitting here in the dark.
