    #ed_op#DIV#ed_cl#Well I had half a day off so I decided I would rescape my 92 gallon. I just did not like the way it look and wanted to give the fish more room to swim. So I dove in, well I got it all done (which I like a lot better) well the tank cleared and the fish began to come out and see the new lay out. Well I took a head count and I am missing a fish.....MY COPPER BANDED BUTTERFLY!!!!! I think in th middle of all the shiftng of rocks I think I may have buried the little guy I cannot bieleve I did such a stupid thing. The tank has been done for about an hour or so I have had my face glued to the tank looking for him. I am chalking it up to a loss. I will keep an eye on the parameters cause I am sure I will see a spike. Just thought I would share my stupid mistake with all you guys#ed_op#/DIV#ed_cl#

    I am sorry to hear about your missing copperband. I know he was one of your favorites. Hopefully he is just hiding. Have you tried moving any of the top rocks to see if you spot him?

    well I went and moved some rock and nothing. Now this really freaks me out. I have no idea where he is at. I checked to see if maybe he jumped or was in the over flow. I will just keep an eye out
