i am having fish trobles

[sweettooth162]

i currently own a eel and a trigger(getting rid of the trigger on thursday) but i did own a rainbow wrasse up untill today. i went to clean the tank and he normaly is flying in and out of the rocks waiting for me to leave. well today i didn't see him. so i went looking for him(scared the crap out of my eel/ trig but did not find him. or a carcase or anything. anyone think the eel ate him(he didn't eat today when i offered him food)? or do you think he just jumped ship? and i plan on getting a pair of springers dottybacks on thursday do you think they will be ok with the eel? or should i get rid of him as well as the trig? any advice appriciated.

What type of eel do you have?

 

[sweettooth162]

goldentail, about the thickness of my thumb

the thumb thing doesn't help cause i bet your thumb isn't the same size as mine but ya know what i mean right?

I don't think that a golden tail would have eaten your wrasse. Maybe the wrasse was already passed, and he ate the remains. Normally golden tails are not that aggressive.

Do you have a fuge or a sump? If yes, have you checked there?

Also don't forget to check the overflow box. A buddy of mine was missing a hippo tang for about 3 weeks, and found him one day in the overflow.
