My Siamese Fighther Fish (Betta Splendon) has Vanished?

Subhankar B asked:


Guys,

I am looking for some explanations here, what on earth has happened.

A week back, i introduced 2 Black Ghosh Knife fish into my tank. Moments after introducing some of the primitive natives in my tank (Black Molly(2), Variatus Platy(2) and Gold Gourami (2)), started distrubing the Ghosts by pricking into their tails and all..

Except my Gold fish(2), and Dani Sonii(4), all seem to be quiet unhappy about the Ghosts being introduced.

This phenemenon continued for about 20 minutues, and when I realised that its not going to stop, i fed the fishes, and then everything was normal..they started behaving as if nothing has happened…That night crossed and my ghosts were fine.. I have only two hiding places in my tank and both the Ghosts have occupied that..

Just after a day, I introduced a Siamese fighter (Betta Splendon).. (i generally do not introduce fish this fast.. but this was on order, and colour of the fish was spelndid shades of blue everywhere…if I would not have taken it, somebody else would…)..The fighter was not attacked by anybody and I kept a watch for 2 - 3 hours during evening and everything was fine….

From the next day morning onwards… THE FIGHTER JUST VANISHED IN AIR.. I had searched all corners of the tank, thought it was sharing the hiding place with one of the Ghost but three days have passed by… there is no sigh of the fighter…

I have no explanations.. I have mentioned all the population of the tank above and in addition to that I have two small crocodile fish…

My suspicion is towards the 2 black ghosts I have.. but is this common a black ghost eating up a fighter…?

In short my beautiful fighter has vanished and I am looking for an explanation.. if someone can help?
I have searched all around the tank and its very unlikely that it has jumped… I have no cats in my locality even

    For the be that one of the ghost and landed somewhere btw would suggest giving the ghosts crocodile separate tank so that one of the tank and crocodile separate tank so that one of live feed and crocodile separate tank and landed somewhere btw would suggest giving the slow moving betta jump out.
    The ghost and landed somewhere btw would suggest giving the tank and crocodile fish food for the other.
