my tanks filtration consists of an overhead filter box connected to a powerhead with a sponge quickfilter. and i also have an oxygen plus bio-filter with two sponges and a flexible tube type airstone that gives off fine bubbles.

i doubt that the BKG ate them since my neon dwarf rainbow fish are only about an inch long but none of them have disappeared. if ever the BKG decided to go on hunting mode, i suspect they would be first ones to go right?
