Dead fish

If you see one medium size (2 inches) dead but it is located under a rock that is impossible to get out unless you take out a lot of rocks on top, would you just leave the fish there and let it decompose or do you try to get it out even if you have to take out some of the rocks?

gett it out... try to blow it out, suck it out, or remove the rocks... if you dont, expect a rise in ammonia and nitrates...

How many cleaner shrimp and nassarius snails do you have ? I have let dead fish before in the tank but i have a serious army of shrimp and nassarius that would devour a fish in literally no more then 10 minutes

but really, you should get it out if you can see it,..just move the rock.

double the water change next 2 times unless you are less that 50 gal. if so remove it

And if you leave it in test for amonia etc and have a bottle of amquel ready,...all in all not worth not removing it
