John Wayne Platy is in the hizzouse!

A serial killer may be the culprit in a string of neon tetra disappearances that have plagued our aquarium this month, aquarium authorities revealed in a press conference this morning.

"We have reason to believe that a platy serial killer has been preying on the numerous neon tetras that have been reported missing during the past few weeks," said Police Chief Andy Guppy. "We are asking for the public's help in solving these crimes. If you have any information, please swim to the nearest station and file a report."

Fear has swept through the tetra schooling community ever since the first neon tetra was discovered dead a week ago. A population that once grew to seven neon tetras is now reduced to three survivors.

"We fear that this individual, this predatory fish, is not going to stop until all small schooling fish are gone."

The police chief warned that all tetras and danios should be alert and take extra precautions to be safe. As a precaution, additional security measures have been taken in and around the crib to safeguard Orangejello.
