Just a basic question I was thinking about:
When a fish dies, should you remove it from the tank or just let the cleanup crew take care of it?
Unfortunately, recently I had an ICK breakout where a couple fish died and some mornings I would wake up and see all my crabs/shrimp/snails tearing a fish apart, and I never knew if I should just let them clean it up or take out the dead fish...typically if there was a significant portion of the fish left I would remove it, and if not I would let them finish whatever was there. Does it make a difference?
