Where did all my fish go?

[Sosuke]

This is very possible did you see the fish planning after feeding time?

I can only think this is a Finding Nemo escape plot and that maybe they are halfway across the Pacific by now.

I’m like halfway done making a “Nemo” tank because my family is finding it if I do that

The six line wrasse always seemed a little shifty.

I like to think mine escaped to the ocean too. Although, it would be quite a trip from southern ohio. Go fish go. You can make it!

 

[Sgolden]

I have had mysteries. I have only found 2 fish after dying out of maybe 8. But, most fish are meat eaters.

GUYS. I FOUND THE SIX LINE WRASSE ALIVE! He has spent the last week and a half chilling in a filter sock.
Strangely ... I did check all the socks and switched them out when I was looking for him. So my best guess is he was hiding somewhere in the sump and I missed him then he jumped into the sock on a different escape attempt.

Still missing the other two escapees.

A net covering is on the way!

 

[CaptainCooke]

Also, he is fat as can be. He must have been loving everything the sock was catching.

Maybe the chromis went searching for him in Sydney Australia.... 42 Wallaby Way I think it was, your looking for a P. Sherman...

and if you find my blue hippo tang.... send her home, she forgets how to get back sometimes

Did you look under the stand? A fish may have flopped underneath. Also any buckets, boxes, vases etc nearby? I’ve heard of fish being found days later in a bucket 3 ft away from a tank. And yes, chromis jump. I’ve found 2 behind the tank in a previous set up

The six line probably cleaned the sump pretty well of pods. Good he is found. Weird all of this happened in one night. No sure if you have checked your tank for stray voltage, but that can cause fish to start acting abnormally and trying to find ways out.

I have not checked this? How does one go about checking for this? I can see how this would make them jump.

Stole this from another user,
"Using a multimeter/VOM set to AC Volts, put one probe in the water and the second on a good ground. I use either the ground plug in an outlet or the little screw on the cover plate of the outlet. That's it".

Glad to hear that you found the six line. The Chromis may still be in there somewhere. A buddy of mine had 2 gobies vanish, only to reappear a month later in a 20 gallon reef. Hell, my Flame Hawk hid itself in my 55 for a couple days, and I only have 4 pvc fittings and a chunk of barnacle. It was under the barnacles.

if they hadnt been in there so long i would have said a bobbit worm had hitched a ride into your tank.

Bizarre.
