Hello,

I have/had (trying to figure out what happened to him) a linespot flasher who was doing great and even dominate in the tank but yesterday morning was the last time he was seen. This morning he didn't come out to eat which is odd since he's typically voracious when food goes in.

I do my water change on Fridays and since I added a new wrasse (LFS said it's a Sri Lankan christmas wrasse but idk) I re-arranged some of my rock and noticed no linespot so I moved and checked all the rock and no linespot or mucus coocon. The tank is on a sturdy thick wood table with a cover. Also there is nothing but the tank in the room so I know he didn't jump onto the floor behind the tank or anything. I had a mccoskers for 6 months with nothing like this happening. Any clues?

If the new addition is aggressive toward the flasher it may be in hiding, it may have jumped out, or it may be in the overflow.
