Firefish Goby Dissapears!!!!!!!!!!!!

[h2ocreator]

Ok, I bought a Firefish Goby. It was doing great! The next day I turn on the lights, and it was gone! Haven't seen it yet. I looked everywhere for any remains, but none to be found. It could not have jumpped out. I have a complete glass hood. My tank inhabitants are tangs, dwarf angels, seahorse, clowns, and starfish. Have any ideas? I really like the fish, and would like to have another one. But I don't want the same to happen to it!

they are very timid at first. Look in your rock work. Ours have a little cave. Some times you can't even see them unless you get a flash light.

I have looked everywhere. And it has been over 2 weeks.

You actually keep a seahorse with those other fish? How long has the seahorse been in there?
As for the firefish, it could have found a little opening at the top to jump out. Such as a little empty spot right next to the skimmer?

Firefish are jumpers...
Look on the floor around your tank he's problably stuck to the carpet

With all the fish you have in that tiny tank it probably figured it didn't have a chance so it went carpet surfing.

I had a glass top as well and my yellow watchmen found a 1"x2" hole by the skimmer to jump out. Carpet crisp.

I have had the seahorse for a month or more. He is doing great! He eats right with all the other fish. He is real active. I have heard that you can't keep a seahorse with other fish, but I have had no problems.

i would set that seahorse in another tank ASAP, that is going against all the rules in seahorse husbandry... well right now she prolly feels like ur mistress...., lol, sorry for the stupid joke but, seriously they can not feed with so many other mobile/fast fish around...
The joke was ok, but the seahorse is very active. He gets just as much food as the tangs get! He is a real trooper!
