[shrimp134]

Okay, I go to school Monday morning at 8:15 A.M...I come home for lunch at approximately 11:22 A.M. And guess what My perfectly normal true perc is gone....I had 2 true percs but my male died of a diesease about 2 or so weeks before...and the clown that just dissapered was doing great in the morning and swimmin and everything....I had no other fish in there except 12 astrea snails...one small red scarlet crab and 1 cleaner shrimp..so I walk into my room and the clown fish is gone....I looked everywhere...around my tank...in my HOB filter.....picked up every piece of LR....stirred up the sand a' lil bit, looked in my skimmer and I couldn't find it anywhere...I have a 175w mh pendant over my tank so it could of jumped out, but what i dont get is why would it just jump out that day when she has been in there for about 1.5 or so months? Please WHAT HAPPENDED to my 24.99$ FISH!!!!!!!!1

Sorry to hear it Shrimp..Did you look in the rock?

I LOOKED absolutely everywhere...I can't believe it....I am thinking she jumped out and one of my 3 cats got a quick snack before I could get home and save her...

I can't believe it....

I had a perc that jumped out of the tank, too. He had been in there for about 4 months, and all of a sudden, just decided to do a lil carpet surfing.
It's sad.

Have you or your fish suffered from any unexplained losses of time or memory? Have you considered alien Abduction? :scared:

Okay, here are the possiblities. Your fish may have died and your clean up crew ate away at the carcass. They can do that, ive had that happen, but while I was on vacation, and to a tang too, so that was pretty big, and TWO snails in the tank. There might just be bones, sorry to break it to you. Also, cats could do it too. How much space was there for it to jump out? Do you have an anemone that hosted it? It could'v eaten it. O well, sorry bout the fish.
