Missing Fish

[jrossjr79]

Not sure if this constitutes for an emergency or not, but for the last two days one of my Blue Damselfish has been MIA. No trace of him, even after I moved all the rock looking at each one under the water, no trace of him what so ever, never even had an ammonia spike. Anyone have any ideas on what could of happened to him?

BTW, even if it was a jumper, which I know is not, there is no where on the tank he could of jumped out of.

Have you checked the overflow?

[jrossjr79]

No overflow to check, only thing that is HOB is an emperor 400, and there really isnt a way for him to get in there.

Even so, just in case, I just checked, and he is not in there either.

What's your CUC size?

[jrossjr79]

7 scarlet reef hermits, 5 small blue hermits, 5 astrae snails, and 5 Nassirus snails.

also forgot the peppermint shrimp only one of him

[Mike]

Chances are he died and the CUC got him "cleaned up" before you noticed.

[jrossjr79]

I am figuring you are right, but wouldnt there been some sort of an ammonia spike?

[Mike]

Only if he sits and rots/decomposing.

Just to be on a safe side I will dump more clean up crew and forget about it ....55gln should be fine ..damsels are really small should fault the water with proper clean up crew ...
