Questions from a Newbie

[Boomboy]

i had this happen to me ( i felt dumb after) i look throughout my rock, moved some pieces, then when i had to move to a new house, i took the tank down and there she was under the rock mostly eaten by then( about 2 weeks) chances are the fish died from something, test your tanks parameters, the fish is in there, try taking out ALL your LR and putting it back in. that is if you really want to find it, which you probably do because you have a nano, and that would raise a ammonia lvl way up. my one fish killed 2 other fish lucky my 6 line wrasse lived.

I have a cube also, did you look in the back filter compartments with a flashlight, I found my pink skunk clown in the return pump section after 4 days, STILL ALIVE!

Thanks but the mystery continues....I moved every pice of rock and pulled everything out of the back of the tankgot my L>E>D flashlight out anf gave everythinga real good look again today....but no luck........tank parameters are still doing fine .......either I have and amazing set of hermit crabs in my CUC or this clown beamed up to its home world
As a result of all the chaos my poor yellow watchman has gone into hiding and only comes out briefly for food and a dirty look.....Can gobies give you attitude?

Do you have a cat or dog or something that could eat your clown if he went carpet surfing?

K so mystery is soled as to whereabouts.....it would seem my little clown has found a place in the return area in the backof my tank....I know i said I looked there but this guy has decided ths space between the plastic liner on the inside of the tank and the exterior(?) wall is the place to be. I only lucked out and saw him swim by the water level windo when I checked iot tonight or I may have gone days thinking it was toast.
Now I have to figure out how to get him outa there....I keep you posted.

That's what I thought! Hope he's ok. I used a really small net and just went fishing, got him after about a dozen swoops in!
He looked really happy to be home and ate like a pig too!

No luck in the capture so far. The little guy has stayed in between the glass and the plastic inside of the compartment since last night....anyideas on luring a clown out into the open? Food has had no impact....LOl.....outsmarted by a fish again well back to the tank for rescue attempt 38000
