My first loss/lost whereabouts unknown!

So since I set up the tank beside the foxface that died in the move I have had my first loss in the tank its a literal loss/lost. I had bought two fire fish and added to the tank and about a week later I didn't see one of them but I thought nothing of it until now about 2 weeks later. I have checked all the filters the skimmer power heads and everything and it is nowhere to be found. But I figured I would update you guys and I'm kinda sad about this lost

 

maybe you have a bad hitchhiker?

 

A buddy of mine didn't see his for a month and then, BAM!!! There he/she was...

 

oh wow i just realized we're talking firefish lol yeah its probably hiding somewhere in like a hole. if you recently acclimated it it still might be getting used to your tank

 

check the overflow or sump, my clownfish went in my overflow and i found him in my sump, lol

 

Well I def hope that is what happened bc I bought 2 of them and the one is swimming around and enjoying the tank and the other is nowhere to be found. I will keep an eye out for him/her though

 

Firefish are known jumpers check behind the tank.

 

+1 i had a clarkii clown that was getting bullied every now and then. he went missing and several months later, i was cleaning out the sump and saw him on the floor behind the tank. ever heard of fish chips? i could hang him on the wall, still had all his colors and everything...

 

hope he/she turns up

 

Dude, those firefish a good jumpers. They can jump...sorry...leap out of a tank at the slightest sign of a threat.
Look around the tank...
Although, I've had a purple firefish slip down into my sump and stayed there for about a month, don't know what he was eating but I found him a bit skinny and put him back into the tank and he ultimately jumped out a couple weeks later.
