    Well I found my Clownfish dead on the bottom of my tank for no apparent reasons... but when i found him it seems like my starfish is eating him... should i leave it be or remove the dead fish?

    it depends how big is your tank?
    and how lazy are you?

    it will cause a parameter spike. but if you tank is big you wont really notice the spike. i have had fish dissappear in my tank before and i dont notice tell a week later.

    if your trying to cycle it may be beneficial to leave the fish in there to create ammonia. if theres other fish in there i wouldn't though
