Do you test your water? If so, what are your test results?
If something died suddenly, and you aren't sure why- it could be your water quality.
I just looked back at your other fish-- this is a freshwater tank? Not real up on testing water for freshwater, but you should at least be testing for ammonia and nitrites- ph and nitrates would not be a bad idea either- who knwos what killed your existing fish- don't want to kill new ones if you get them. I did some searching as well-- every place that sells these fish say "NOT FOR SALE" or "SOLD OUT" Guess these are hard to find...

Ahhhhhhhh unless there are salt water species of bettas and tetras that I haven't heard about (certainly possible since I'm new to the SW side ) you are talking about a FW tank, right? If so, you didn't happen to find the fish you are look to replace accidently on the SW row of tanks in your LFS did you???

something is fishy here
LOL
all does sound like a fw aquarium, and this is a saltwater board, but funn isn't it, all of us must love fish becasuse we are all checking in to help
anyhow, if one disappeared, mysteriously, i'd look all around the aquarium stand, he may have jumped out, but the other one, ????,
as for your water parameters, they are your test results, have your local fish store run some tests on your tank water, there could be a problem there, othe than that, i really don;t know enough to help you much, unless your filter and airation aren't workin properly

they could be running a brackish water tank. I am converting a few of the brackish water puffers to be able to live in a saltwater. it does take a few months to do, but after that they have no problems. (just a thought)
