My Fish Is Missing!

I noticed that my green chromis was not there this morning. I thought that maybe he was hiding----he is nowhere to be seen. Looked all over, all I can figure is that he jumped out. If he did he is [or should say was] CAT food. This is the first fish that I have lost, I guess I should look on the bright side---now I can buy a new fish. Somehow that doesn't make me happy. have any of you lost a fish and found it later in a strange place?

 

Maybe its hiding out or in the overflow ? We had a cleaner wrasse to go MIA back in December , he was eating flakes and was always fat and healthy and with myself going in and out of the hospital 2 times with in 3 weeks and about a 4 days each stay it was awhile before he was really missed . Until last Tuesday night there he was right out front . Still fat and healthy I guess he was over in a overflow in the corner that can't be looked in too. But I have had many a fish to go MIA over the yrs to only pop back up at some point and then sometimes they just stayed MIA

 

how long has been MIa for. those fish can find some really great hiding spots. plus those are pretty hardy fish

 

I had a cucumber missing for over 6 months. Found him in the overflow. And 1 of the blue neon gobies that went missing a couple of months ago was found in there also. It is amazing who goes back there, but why I just don't know. Never got the goby, he is still there. I just throw him some food every now and then. I use a flashlight to check on him. Still there.

 

Mine's not so weird, has happened to lots before me, but, I lost a blue damsel one time. Looked everywhere and a few days after I noticed it was missing, I looked:Looking: on the floor behind the tank and there it was dried up......:-/:sick3:

 

Thanks guys--I don't have a overflow--would like one ,but the plumbing is over my head--maybe he is hiding. It's only been 1 day, but that is not normal for him. I only have 4 fish-should I say 3. If he jumped out I will not find the body--3 Japanese bobtails will have taken care of that!!!

 

i have a batch of kittens, if they arent careful may end up in the fug. atleast once a day i have to yell at them to stop standing on the fug. i wonder if kitties make good mechnical filtration?

 

No, I don't think so--I love cats--Was in the CFA and had national and regional winners!

 

just keep reading about it...it'll make sense all of a sudden! You will actually see the light bulb turn on!

 

I once lost an Emerald Crab, was gone for over a week, then one day I was taking out a batch of towels from the dryer and he was in there, Still alive!!, Put him back in the tank and he lived for at least another year after that.

I still can't believe that he went through the wash/dryer with all the washing detergent and still lived. I guess they are tougher than they look.

Now I don't keep clothes to be washed near the Tank.
