Slowly loosing the race against time......

Well this morning I heard a very loud splash and some flopping of some wet body near my 58g reef. I was in the next room at the time this incident occurred so by the time I got there and investigated who was missing - it was my 5" blue sided wrasse. I looked for about 40 minutes now behind my tank - nothing. I've looked and looked so I went to the next room to get my flashlight of course thats when I heard more of the flopping noise - I see a trail, but it goes dry......



Still looking.

Lost cause! I've just about taken apart everything but the base board heater.
I guess I''ll find him when I move. Where the hell can a 5" wrasse hide!!!



This sucks! he was one of my first wrasses.

 

[Awibrandy]

I'm so sorryyyyyyyyyyyy Sharn!

oooooooops!!!! posted too soon :tongue1::smash:

Miracles do happen.
This fish was missing for about 5 hrs, now he's swimming about as if nothing happen.
I know it was him because he gets harassed every so often by the sailfin.
Now I feel like the boy who cried wolf (actually the boy who cried big puddle of water and a water trail........)

I guess it's time to trap him, he's too docile and somewhat too big for my tank.



sigh....

wow! 5 hours out water n survived. good luck with him.

do you have a cover? I'm betting he splashed out, back in and then went for cover. If you have some kind of cover you know it won't jump out.

That's exactly what happened. The back of my tank I cover with a glass canopy to protect the overflow from the jumpers, thats where I found the large puddle of water leading over the side of my tank.
