Missing Firefish

[mdobbins]

Hello! I’m wondering how long I should wait without seeing my firefish before replacing it. It’s been three days so far and I know they are shy and hide a lot but mine was always out and about. It also would definitely come out for frozen mysis and it hasn’t. I checked around the tank so I don’t think it jumped.

Also if it did die deep in one of the holes of a rock do I do anything or will the tank take care of it?

Thanks! Added a little video of the current crew ◡̈

Ideally it would be nice to rule out a disease process. Realistically if the other fish are not showing any signs or symptoms of disease and the water chemistry is WNL I don't see a reason not to replace the fire fish.
Keep an eye out for bullying by the clowns.

If he was just added….id wait a week.
Very likely hiding from the clowns.
Very very shy rock hiding professional

Nothing needs to be done if expired, unless he’s floating around then we can take his body out.

He’s in there.

Not a new addition and yes all the other fish seem fine as well as the water.

I loved my firefish Miss Piggy,but dang she had a death wish. She jumped twice, saved twice. Third times a charm. I guess she jumped when I moved the lid just a bit and then I stepped on her with my slipper, but I did not know. Found her body in the hallway.
