Default fish disapper

in replace of my CB, i went to my lfs and bought two what he claims to be african fire fish, it was two days ago. i bought it home acclimate it saw both of them were running around fine. the night that i got home, only saw one hanging out, thought another one was hiding somewhere, yesterday i got home, none of them were hanging out, so this morning, i tore out all my rock work and look for them, however, i have no trace of them, nada, nothing, i cant even find their bones or anything. i have a condy thats the only thing i can come up w that could eat them, but could it be that fast that he can eat them up? they both look great when they were at the lfs

either condy, hop out (carpet dive) or wedged in LR. My firefish scared the hell out of me when i couldnt find it. Saw his head peeking out 5 days later from LR that i thought i checked thoroughly. They can get tight places, them firefish.....

yep firefish are really good hiders!! My tang is doing the same today - i was like oh my god, where is he. After carfully looking, he's hiding in the rockwork, doesnt seem to be trapped just happy swimming in an alcove that i've accidently created.

Your firefish are possibly fine, if not - naughty condy!!!

You will never know whats in my tank as i can only type 15 words

Firefish , if that is what you had, are burrowers. Mine will mysteriously vanish on occasion. They are also known jumpers if you don't have a top. I've had mine for a long time with no top or, problems. Tank-mates are probably the reason for jumping.

I take/share a "common sense" approach.
