I've been having a little trouble with my aquarium lately. My guppies died off a while ago, so about 2 weeks ago I decided to get some more fish. I picked up three tiny neon (blue and red) tetras, and 2 gold mollies, which look alot like my red fish. Within 2 days all of the tetras disappeared, and I assume that someone ate them. Then a couple of days after that I came home from church to find that one of my new mollies was dead. I fed them just before church, and it looked fine. When I got home it looked like it's head had exploded. There was a gaping hole in the head and the eyes were gone. A few days later the same thing happened to my other molly. I took it's frozen carcass back to the pet store to see if I could get any answers. They seemed stumped, as the fish didn't show any sign of disease, and the other fish in my tank are supposedly peaceful. Their only suggestion was that the fish had died for no apparent reason, and then once they were dead one or more of my supposedly peaceful fish sucked out the eyes and brain. I decided against getting any more mollies, so Ava helped me pick out a blue gourami, and so far it seems to be doing well.

I thought you were going to tell us someone had overfed them or that Tick had gotten to them. What a weird situation. Good luck on the new one.
And, I met your new neighbor at a viewing for Dan Donahue the other night. I told her to be very nice to you cause you were a sweetheart! She agreed. Does anyone remember Jean Simmons? I am glad she is the new neighbor...
Jeesh, when I saw your post I thought for sure the blue fish had exploded too. Thank goodness that hasn't happened. He is a pretty good sized fellow and can probably fend off Marge.
I am an actual witness to the exploding fish. The last one blew up while I was there. Weird and creepy.
Sick and wrong! Liv keeps asking for a fish and I keep telling her no, this will be my new reason why!
Hve you looked on the internet for the reason of the exploding fish?
I can't come up with a better explaination than the lady at the pet store.
Dang it...I thought we had another Serial on our hands!
