Default Stolen!!

Yes , the title is right. my fish was stolen out of my tank. i live in a dorm, not a huge dorm only 6 people live in the dorm area. i leave for work and when i get home my fish is gone, so at first i do what everyone else would do check your floor, check everywhere on your floor, and i did, i even took out most of my rock to make sure he wasnt in there. my emperor angel fish is now gone. i am very shocked because who steals a fish. i mean come on. a fish. it was 50 bucks and im not in a rush to get a new one, but i wanted to get one for so long i only had him for 2 weeks. i will find who did this a get my revenge.

Wtf? Who would steal a fish? Are you sure though? They can flop a LONG way!

I hate to say it, but sometimes fish just disappear. Do you think its possible that your inverts snacked on it already?

I lost a CBB. Could figure out what happen until I look in a small rock crevice and found it commited suicide there. There was nothing to to but let the crabs have takeout.

yeah i know thats what i was thinking. my room is about 10ft by 11ft,i have a canopy with not alot of space in it for it to just out. the only opening in is the front and its only 2 1/2 inches long, i measured jsut now. the fish was at least 2 inchs tall and 3 inches long. it was an emperor angel if you know what that looks like, not a firefish or something, and so i mean yeah i am still looking but who knows i dont really trust people in my dorm area so i wouldnt put it past them to take it and sell it to someone else. or and its a bit to big for my shrimp and small hermits to eat.

You would be surprised with just how fast inverts can finish off a fish and even britsle worms would get in on the action would would totall speed up th hole process. But if someone did steal it give them what they deserve lol. Hope you find the reasoning behind the GREAT FISH MYSTERY.

i defiantly will because in about 2 weeks i am moving and taking everything out of the room,so i will find out if the fish jumped for sure, which i think is unlikly due to the fact there isnt alot of room to get out, but i will post in 2 weeks when i move to let people know what happened.

My tank reduces a dead fish down to nothing but bones in 24hrs or less. If I find any trace of the fish, it is an absolutely clean skull.

If the fish did jump you'll know well before your two weeks are up. Just follow your nose.

It sucks that you lost such a beautiful fish though.
