I got a fire fish today. I kept the lights down to just the moon lights and acclimated him. He was already quarantined 4 weeks. He was a bit skittish for about 5 minutes then settled in and peacefully swam in the upper center of the tank.
I have a 70G cube. The inhabitants are:
2 onyx clowns
1 Diamond watchman goby
1 Fairy wrasse
1 yellow tang
2 HUGE pajama cardinals
1 Blue eyed midas goby (new today as well)
I can see Midas hidden in a cove in the rockwork
About 2 hours after being in the tank I noticed the firefish was missing. I have a canopy with polyscreen attached to the back to prevent jumpers. The overflow is a gl*******s overflow with teeth. I have the top covered so no access unless he squeezed through the teeth.
I have searched the overflow box and didn't see anything with a flash light. I searched the back of the tank since there was a loose area in the screen. (Just in case)
I went down to the basement and checked the sump and I still don't see him.
I am wondering now if the Cardinals ate him? I put some very large peppermints in there and they snatched them up like candy. Anyone heard of Cardinals eating other fish? I am just puzzled that I cannot find a body.
