Question
Hi I purchased a pink and white betta fish about 2 weeks ago. This morning i went to feed him and i know this sounds silly but he was gone!!!!! i have plants, plattys, guppys and grammie fish in my tank but i just dont know where he went!!!! There is nobody in my house so i know nobody took him out. His name is Steavie and hes 4 months old. Its just a pure mystery where he went. I told my mam and dad over the phone and they where shocked i live on my own  as i am an adult. Please help me find Steavie or even tell me what might of happened to him!!! Did my other fish eat him??? or did he just disappear into mid air???

Answer
Hi,
Sorry to hear about your loss. (no pun intended)

There are 3 things that I think happened.

The first: he jumped out of the tank, and flopped under a couch or furniture.

Second: he died and the other fish ate the remains

Third: he died and the filter sucked upbwhat was left of the body.
