In my quarantine tank I had 3 glowlight tetras, 1 platy, 2 zebra danios, and 3 corys. A week ago one tetra dissappeared!!!!!!! I took out EVERYTHING and good not find him, I searched the floor and could not find him. Two days ago, the SAME thing happened to one of my platies in my main tank!!! NO WHERE to be FOUND!!!!!!! 3 days ago one platy died of unknown reasons.

JUst now in my quarantine tank I found my platy DEAD!!!!!!!!! WHAT IS GOING ON?!?!?!?! MY ammonia is fine. I do NOT have a test kit because of reasons I wish to not discuss but I have been WANTING one since I have gotten the fish. anyways, where are the fish?!?!?! and why do they keep on dying?!?!?!

I had NO fish deaths for 2 months and now THIS!

The fish had NO signs of disease! ALL were swimming around well an hour before!

sounds like a hannibal hector thing to me.
 
How do you know your ammonia is "fine" if you dont have a test kit. Ammonia isnt the only thing to worry about. You need to be checking your nitrite and nitrate also.
 
I meant that I only have an ammonia test kit. I WANT the other test kits but that's a long story.
 
1 week ago. I did a 30% water change, and added dechor stuff in it. I change the water every week.

Should I go ahead and put the fish in quarantine in my main tank? They've been in it for 3 weeks.

Could the corys have eaten the tetra?
 
If you just had one die in the quarantine tank, I would leave them in there for a while longer to make sure you dont have a disease in the tank. I dont have cory's but I'm sure if they are bottom feeders that they could have eaten him pretty quickly. That would be my first guess. I have had 2 angels dissappear in the same way. I never did find their bodies.
 
WEIRD! also, my platy and tetras have NEVER eaten..at least I have never seen them eat! I have put food in front of their faces toO! Otherwise, they lookded really healthy. Since two of the fish died, the tetras have been MUCH more active...
