Magic Trick Chromis

[xcali1985]

3 Chromis: 3 Weeks: 3 Gone!!!
No signs of them period and im always at my tank. Nothing else ever disappears only them. Any suggestions, Ive monitored the tank at night lately and still haven't seen anything come out. Lots of rock and places for things to hide. Any ideas?

What other kinds of inhabitants are in there?

You mean they dissapear for periods of time and then come back? Or are they gone completely? Do you have an anemone of some sort or any fuzzy mushrooms? Those both will eat fish the fuzzy mushrooms if they get really big.

2 Clowns, Firefish, Sixline Wrasse & Bluejaw Trigger. I have a green spotted mushroom, thats about it. Its pretty big maybe 5 inches.

The trigger could be suspect. How big? They also could have died and were consumed before daylight.

The hobby sort has turned a 'blind eye' to this, but realistically, there is no way to easily collect chromis in the wild. They live in big coral heads. When the diver approaches, they hide in the coral. The only way to effectly capture them, is to nuke 'em with gas.
Bottom line is try a different source...

That's it, I will never get a blue-green chromis. Don't tell me anymore, I am afraid of what I will find.
