Dead fish....

[pitmam01]

One of my fish must've died overnight and my britte star had him all wrapped up in the back of the tank, so I thought he was taking care of the remains. I just looked and the deceased is laying in the back where I can't reach him. He's about the size of a silver dollar. Will the crabs take care of him or shall I try to get him out?

I would pull it out

Crap! Now he's moving the body again.

Try to blow him out with a maxi-jet.

What happens if I can't get him out???

Watch your nitrates. Be ready to do a water change. If they eat it all not much. If it decays then it joins the nitrogen cycle.

most likely the crabs will have him at night. At least that's how it is in my tank.

water changes..... let it be

No signs of him today...................hopefully he was taken care of.
