Fish disappeared

I hate it when a fish mysteriously disappears. I tested the water; 0 ammo & nitrites, nitrates 10-20. So. . . I'll give her a day or so to see if she re-appears, keep testing the water to make sure it's safe. If I get ammo I'll do a more thorough investigation.

Is it just hiding? If so, than your just looking too hard lol. Good luck.

I hope that's the case. I'm not seeing her anywhere which is highly unusual.

Check the driftwood.

I once had a fish get it's head stuck in a knot hole on a piece of drift wood. 2 days I didn't notice. I knew I was having a hard time finding the fish, but didn't see that it had it's tiny head stuck in the driftwood. Then I notice this nose and two eyes staring at me from a piece of driftwood.. It took me like 45 minutes to figure out a way to get the fish free without crushing it. I currently have a clown loach living in a piece of driftwood. Sooner or later it won't fit and could get stuck.

Hope you find your fish. No one likes to lose a fish that you've spent 100's of dollars on to keep it alive and healthy.

Well mystery has been solved, sadly I found her in a deco log dead. That's the 2nd one in 3 days. I had those 2 for only about 6 or so months. This I thought wasn't doing well but she'd had problems from the beginning. The one last Friday I think got stuck because she showed no signs of a problem. Now I'm back to 3 & I think I'll leave it that way.
