So I just cycled my first tank, a 29g bio cube and put a few snails(3) and hermits(2) and two very small clownfish. No bigger than a nickel each. Now two days later they are nowhere to be found!!! Not in the filtration not in the pump and I’ve moved everything around in the tank and can’t find it... any suggestions?

Was the lid on? We've had some fish jump and only find them after it is too late. Also the hermits could clean them up after they died. Also a numerous population of amphipods will clean up a dead fish in no time. Bummer!

The lid was on and that’s all I can think is that they were eaten already I just didn’t know if two or three baby hermits could eat all that haha

Check your overflow good. I had a clown go missing once, two days later I found her in the overflow swimming around lol. She slipped through an opening. She's done it twice since than and I know where to find her. I finally put something on the space to stop it from happening.

He escaped to look for his son!

But real talk that bizarre I mean there's only so many places it could go. Hard to be eaten without some remnants i would think
