Suspect this is a pointless question in a way but anyone got any tips of how to prevent livestock trying to commit suicide?
My 220 litre tank has 30+ espei rasbora, 20 paskai rainbows, 12 CPDs, 10 otos, 10 threadfin rainbow, probably 50-60 cherry shrimp (which are breeding like crazy) and 30 amano shrimp
Over the last few weeks I seem to have lost the odd fish/shrimp here and there and have found them on the floor. So far no amano shrimp, threadfins, otos or CPDs but have lost a couple of rasbora, a couple of paskai and I've just a few mins ago found a cherry on the floor
On more than one occasion I've been lucky enough to find them still alive, including the cherry a few mins ago, but I was wondering if jumpers are just one of those things or if there might be a reason?
Just to add, the tank has glass lids to reduce evaporation but there is a 3-5mm gap around the perimeter and the rear corners are cut out to allow for pipework. Recent pic attached
Cheers
