Aye that be a wee spot'o grungy in therrrrrre" (I had the nastiest looking throat). Anyhow, good luck.

FWIW, my canary wrasse goes MIA very often. What happens though is that if startled, or sleeping, or even just needing a nap in the daytime, they'll swim right into the sandbed and bury themselves instantly. I've only once gotten to witness it happen, he literally just swam into the sand. There was a small "poof" of sand for about a second but once it cleared there was literally NO indication whatsoever that there was a wrasse hidden in the sand at that spot. There are many times I come down to feed the tank and he's gone to bed, he'll be the only one I can't spot, but then the next day he's out swimming again as if nothing abnormal ever happened.

So, ... hopefully this is the case here too.

They are potential jumpers though. I lost my first canary wrasse to jumping. I had an eggcrate cover for the tank but it apparently was no impediment to his trajectory.

Ya Strep sucks!!! And after 9 days...it's a doozy!

Unfortunately I have gone through 3 canary wrasses now.... Always to jumping but this one is not on the floor...It did have a wound so perhaps it dug into the sand and never came out? Funnt mine have always jumped through the mesh too! I think they must jump STRAIGHT UP!!

I too succumbed to the pressure to jump on the bandwagon! You might as well Mike...everybody's doin it! I think they cost about $115 for the big bag. Or you can buy them in the kit with the reactor $230ish???not sure on that one though...
