Hi everyone, I'm afraid some of my fish may be dead, and I guess I'm asking for reassurance or sympathy. I had 3 female A. nijsseni in my 55 gallon tank with a male and 12 black neons. I haven't seen one of the females in 2 or 3 days. The tank is heavily planted and has several caves and some rockwork. Can I hope that the little girl is still alive? I have a similar situation in my 40 gallon tank, except that it is 2 female A. trifasciata that are missing. I haven't seen them even when I was trying to net a few cories out of that tank and had everything stirred up. If they are still there, can anyone recommend a way to encourage them to show themselves? If they are dead, is there anyone within a reasonable drive of Durham, NC who has some female trifasciata they're willing to sell?
