Missing fish: Where is he!

IluvAggfish · 02/25/2014, 05:07 AM

So my Canary fang blenny has been missing for two days now, no sign at feeding time, checked the ground "he did not jump"
I'm left to believe he either got caught in the rock or was eaten...
Does anybody have any Idea???

the only culprits (that I know of) would be my fuzzy dwarf lion, baby snowflake eel, rockflower anem, and coralbanded. Literally though the fish has just vanished!!
I'd love to say it was the lion because he is a pig and did eat my cleaner shrimp

but the first time I added the fang blenny to the tank the lion tried to swallow him only to be bitten and spit the blenny right out, from that point on he avoided the little guy.. The snowflakes pencil thin and keeps to his own for the most part, the rock flower can't even eat a brine cube it barfs it out, and the shrimp does make grabs at everything but is slow and if it was a monster I'd of seen it go after my crabs already! the only thing else is the decorator crab, are those fish killers??? Where is my blenny

If the lion tried to eat it once, maybe he succeed this time.

While it is always possible it got eaten, it is more likely it just died behind the rocks. Fish carcass doesn't last long in a reef tank. Day or two and there would be nothing left.
