So in my 5 I have 2 pea puffs and a bb goby. I had 2 but one did get sick a while ago and pass. It never seemed to affect anything else.
Anyway my second goby is missing. It always comes out for feeding but today didn't. I didn't even notice doing my PWC this morning. Its been perfectly normal so I dont think it was sick.
I'm actually a bit worried I siphoned it , which did happen to the other one once but I always inspect my old water and did see the poor guy, stark white in there, put him back and it was all good. I Checked my old water and watched as I siphoned but didn't notice anything so I flushed it down.
I just got home and still couldn't find it so I took my plant tweezers and moves some rocks and java moss until everything was properly stressed and stopped.
If you were me, and thank all the dark gods you're not, would you pull the fish and do a tear down? The thought of a rotting fish in a 5 gallon kind of bugs me.
Or
Would you wait a bit and see if it pops out of hiding?
If I tear down I'm redoing the tank setup and the though of stressing everything more irks me to.
Ugh
Thanks
