maybe your fish died of other causes (fish-only disease?) and the yamatos have been feasting on the corpses
I do a weekly change of water every week for my dad's tank and I notice that despite all my fish being healthy, many of them have disappeared. I also notice my yamatoes are rather healthy, too active for my liking. So I was wondering do yamatoes attack fishes? I know it may sound silly that shrimps attack fishes, but I cannot think of any other possibilities.

Growing old with this forum.. :)
did your fish jump out of the tank?
Adoketa, Breitbinden, Paciquamis, Diplotaenia, Elizabethae, Mendezi, Inka, Agassizi, L046, L066, Crystal Red Shrimps
nope, no jumpers. did manage to find one carcass, but it was too badly eaten that i cannot find out what is wrong.
What are the fish that are disappearing?
Yamatos eat anything dead or dying.
a buffet, marbled hatchets, rasbora kubotai and a halfbeak.
Hatchets jumps alot for your information.

it happened to me once. i packed 2 yamato and an oto from lfs. the lfs pack it in the same bag. while transporting i saw the 2 yamatos nibbling on the oto, i thought it was fine. when i reached home the oto was dead and the yamatos were feeding on it.
