I have a community 240L tank of Malawi's. 3 electric yellows, 4 electric blues (two males and two females - one is ready to spawn). 2 metriaclima pulpicans (kingsizei) and a few others with a total of 14.
The male kingsizei pwns half the tank. The female held and released eggs about 3-4 weeks ago. (coincidentally I noticed one fry has survived and found a nice little cave under the presence of the bigger male.)
I meant to say, all the fish in the tank are 2 1/2 to 3 inch max.
The female kingsizei has vanished. I haven't pulled all the rocks out yet... but I'm 99% sure it can't be where I can't see.
Is there any chance she got eaten?
