So, over a year ago. My blue hippo tang dissapeared without any trace. I have and still do for over 2 years a 30 gallon tank. One day, i had to leave for 3 days for work out of state. When i came back. I noticed dory was missing. Nowhere to be found. Not on the floor nearby. Not in rocks. Not anywhere, literally. So i pronounced her missing in action, Or dead. Since then, i removed the rocks. Made numberous water changes, sifted the sand. And at a point, I didn't do water changes for over 4 months. But my clown fish were still there. So just a couples of days, I was at work. My daughter was watching TV. Keep in mind, she has been missing over a year now. She heard splashing in the aquarium. So she went to check what was the whole commotion. When she looked, she texted me and asked me if i got a dory. I said no. She said there was dory in the tank. I said, no way your pulling my leg right? So she sent me a picture. And sure enough, she was there. So i am very confused at just what happened. How is she still alive and how did she just appear from nowhere. She grew just a bit. she is not harmed. she is swimming like nothing happened. But once again this is only a 30 gallon JBJ tank. I have pulled the rocks out about 4 months ago. I cannot imagine she was hiding in the sand. I've sifted it in almost every water change. but get this. now my star fish is missing. and it was very big.
