One of my tetras went missing!

Ok, I have no idea what happened, but one of them is missing.

I mentioned that there was one fish that seemed like he'd been ousted from the group (he's a neon tetra). Well, he's still there and one of the glo-lites is missing. WTF?! I thought, "well, maybe it was a glo-lite earlier that wasn't looking too good and he died and they ate him." But when I first walked in tonight, it was a neon that was by itself (the loner).

I am totally confused!! I looked all around the area, in the tank, behind the filter, everywhere! What happened? I thought they were group fish.

Do you think one unexpectedly died and they ate it? Or do you think they attacked it?

Edited to say - Please reverse Neon and Glo-lite in the above post. I got them mixed up.

UPDATE: I have found him! He was in the filter. Grr! I am going to Petsmart tomorrow for dog food so I will ask if I need another filter for such small fish.

I learned you can set the filter on high or low, so I moved it to low.

I'm so happy he's ok! *sigh*

Great news, hope you get it all worked out!

Thanks. I think I have it now. I may still get a smaller filter.

I'm glad he's okay! That seemed odd.

I had the same problem with my fishies everyonce in a while one would go missing but then afew days later it would be back!!!!! i figgured they were in the filter, i found this small shade cloth like stuff and i put it around thi filter as my filter i a large one and i have tetras/neons and i have not had any problems since.
