Question
dear karen, as of today one of my bala sharks disapered, it was the the female one which was the biggest, at first i thought that she had jumped out but then as i checked the floor around the tank i realized that she had probably been eaten by the other sharks.  I have two rainbow sharks and one other bala shark.  I am assuming that the two rainbow sharks ate her.  And then shouldn't have been hungry because i was feeding them regularly.  Pleas helo me thanks alot

Answer
Dear Chris,
Is it possible she could have passed away and her poor body is hidden beneath driftwood or some other ornament..Or hidden behind a thick stand of plants? Be sure to check around all areas in the aquarium and you may find the poor shark...

It is possible she could have died and the other sharks rapidly cleaned up all signs of her. :( But there may still be a skeleton left of her though somewhere in the aquarium. :(

These are the only options as to what could have happened to her. I'm so sorry to hear this and I hope you do not loose anymore sharks.

I hope this helps and feel free to write with anymore concerns!

Best wishes,
Karen~
