Any luck Laurie? If your skimmer hasn't gone crazy I guess that's a pretty good sign. The thing that's worrying me about my missing Canary is normally they never leave each others side so for the male to be swimming around for 3 days by himself is a little odd.

I'll look closely again all around the floor and in the tank/sump again tonight, but he never showed up last night. That is odd about your wrasse, I hope it turns up.

I lost my Dragon Goby, and was so puzzled on where he went.

Turns our he jumped (Common with dragons) and my son found him and flushed him without telling me. I was going crazy looking for him, pulling things apart.

I ask my son, he said "Hmm, that's crazy, i wonder where he went".... 30 minutes later. "Oh yea, i found a fish dead on the carpet, so i flushed it. Maybe that was your missing fish" Doh!!

So do you live alone? Maybe a room mate, sibling etc may have some information.

do you have any large Nem's in the tank they will eat anything that can get there fingers on.... At least mine does, fish go missing and he gets blamed or the little pygmy angle gets blamed as he will swat other fish with his tail and make them move towards the large carpet Nem. I thinks he has figured out that he can get rid of any fish he wants by being pushy. He will be moved to my kids tank once I get the 110g to my place and get it running. out of the 55g and into a 30g for him. My kids like him so they should be excited about it. I call this little angle the herding angle he is only about 2 inch in size and runs the tank. even the clowns will now let him near there Nem which they wouldn't let happen before.

My Tang went missing for over a week and then showed up out of the blue looking and acting like nothing ever happened.

It's just me and my boyfirend Steve, and he has no idea what happened to the naso either.

I do have a large GBTA but he barely grabs onto mysis so I doubt he'd eat a fish, never has before and I've had him for 3 years. Plus I've seen my tiny green clown goby get a bit to close to my GBTA and he never touched the goby so I don't think that's it.

Let's hope and pray that's what happens with mine. The thought of him being stuck somewhere slowly dying or dead already is really worrying and upsetting me

I just got home and unfortunately there is still no sign of him

sift through the sand or move rocks? maybe time to re-aquascape?
