I lost two fish :-(
Hi Everyone,
I had a bad night last night. I have two new brains and they needed to be fed. So I waited until the lights had been off for an hour or so then I went in to feed the corals. That worked out great they ate like little pigs. While I was watching the corals eat I noticed my two dogs were very excited and seemed to be all under foot but thats nothing new for them.
After feeding the corals I went to bed I called for the 2 dogs but they wouldn't come to bed. That was strange but I still didn't think too much of it. This morning I went over to the tank to look at the brains when I noticed two fish missing in action. My little true clown and my fairy wrasse. I put food in and still they were gone. I looked all around the tank no fish. After checking the whole apt I found them in the dogs bed all dried up and half eaten. The dogs didn't get scolded but they knew I wasn't happy. So now I'm down to 7 fish in my 150.
Thanks for listening.
Patrick

yeah they must have jumped while I had my hand in the tank feeding the corals. I must have startled them.

thanks Mike
Ive never fed my brains before so not really sure. From my understading they only send the sweepers out at night. Next time I will know to look for any jumpers.

Sorry to hear about your fish. I know it is sad to find a fish that has jumped, I had a Starry Dragonet
for over a year and it jumped out last weekend, I guess it is time for me to enclose the back of my canopy.

Thanks Bill Tim John harman and Mike, I'm just glad it wasn't because I was neglectful on the water changes or anything like that.
