I had my clown lay eggs, and 9 days later when they hatched, she jumped out of my tank. 3" of euro-bracing and my canopy is 1" max from the top of the tank. Somehow made it out. I was sitting beside the tank when it happened, so i heard it, looked, didn't see anything. Then my wife went and checked and found her on the floor. Was probably close to 5 min, but she was fine once she went back in.

Anyways, hope yours is fine, mine clearly has some post-partum depression issues.

I'd have to agree that it probably died if it isn't on the floor or in your overflow. The last fish that I ever saw dead in my tank was my large foxface and it was already being consumed. Other than that, they just disappear.

Oh well I guess it's more common than you think. Thanks everyone.

Now here's a question, going shopping tomorrow for replacement. Would you buy one more or three more for better odds ?

Definitely only keep 2 total in the tank. Anymore than that will eventually lead to clownfish being killed by the dominant pair.

Was it the female(large) clownfish that disappeared or the small(male) clownfish that disappeared?

Large female gone. Male hung upside down by my mag cleaner for two days but is venturing around the tank again now. I do have a lot harmless orange worms that come out at feeding time. Never seen one aggresive in any way. The clowns were in the upper half of the tank waiting for feeding time.
