When I was at a lfs a couple weeks ago, he had some cleaner wrasse that didnt look too good, so he gave me a discount on them (they werent sick so much as just looking blah...), and well, they spiked to life in my tank, and were doing fantastic, cleaning fish, rock, eating flakes and even some brine. Then 2 days before I moved, one of them dissappeared, I assumed when I finished cleaning out the apartment I would find him somewhere.. but no... didnt find him, so one down, one hanging in, he was happy as could be. I had my new 120 brewing getting ready for the 55 gallon transfer, so yesterday, being sunday july 25th, I swap the tanks over to the 120, move all the rocks to tubs of water, corals, then swap my sand over, then I swapped my rocks in, then my fish is, and when the water cleared, setup my corals... but... when I was collecting my fish from the 55 to the holding tubs.. cleaner wrasse was gone?!? So with everything swapped over, still hasnt reappeared.. my lawn mower has popped back out, and I know I didnt transfer him, he was hiding in some rock some where, but is out and about and seemingly happy... any ideas?? will they come out... or should i start assuming they are gone and hope my clean up crew finds them and cleans them up nice..
I dont like when a fish dies.. I like even less when they vanish without a trace
