missing clown

[shahrzad1893]

one of my golden stripe maroon clowns have gone missing D':
I don't know where little Jesus is but his buddy Lucifer ( bigger golden stripe maroon clown that was paired with him) is still around.
hes too big to get sucked into the filter or anything and he was right in front yesterday
hadnt seen him all day
and he didnt come out to be fed
all the water parameters are fine so im sure he didnt just drop dead
:( where could he be


... yea i give my fish odd names
haha as soon as i get a camera ll introduce them

Could he have jumped? Do you have a cat(s) that might have removed the evidence?

They are also surprisingly good at hiding in the rocks if they are injured.

Good luck.

not even possible that it had jumped. got a screen.
And the cat wouldn't dare go down stairs since my dog chases her

And no sign of the Clown either. Humm....
Could it be trapped in some of the rock would be my guess then.

it has to be in the tank somewhere
i had a clown disappear and half of it reappered stuck to the filter 3 days later dont know where the other half went i figured the anemone ate it
itll turn up.. or not

there is a chance that it died and your CUC took care of it...

Im afraid if you havent seen him at this point he probably died.
Im sorry bud :(

 

[shahrzad1893]

:( yea i realized that
its sad though i have no clue as to where he couldve gotten stuck or hurt
all the fish get along fine none of them are aggressive and the water parameters are better than ever :(

and its sad to see his bud all alone since they were usually together all the time

Sometimes it happens for reasons we can never figure out :(

Im sorry for your loss
