Just went to feed the fishies. My 3-stripe damsel - Domino - was missing from the 29g frag tank!! :shock:
I ran and grabbed a flashlight. Lots of foul language........ I was crawling around on my hands and knees under the tank. I suspected he'd taken a carpet surfing jump and expected to find him flopping around on the floor - or dried out and dead. Couldn't find him ANYWHERE. Looked in the fuge - not in there. Looked in the overflow - not in there.
I turned off the return pump and waited for all the water to stop draining. Shined my flashlight in the overflow..........
Little bugger was in the overflow!! :grumble: He had to jump pretty high out of the water to get in the overflow - thank god for that strainer or he'd have gone right down the bulk head and ended up in the drain lines somewhere....... never to be found.
He's grounded. :nono:
