Hi! My mudskipper went missing the other day, and I am wondering where it went anyone have any ideas? And I don't think it climbed out of the tank because there are no holes in the lid. I have 1 puffer and one black Molly. But I don't think they ate the mudskipper.

Thanks
 
Are you sure there arent any holes. I had a 2 inch hole and one if mine jumped out while i was away. Luckily i still have one. Do you have any pictures of your tank?
 
iv heard puffers can be pretty violent with other fish and can suddenly take a turn on there tank mates theres some chance he could have had it
 
Do you have a picture of the top of the tank?
I doubt the puffer would eat the whole mudskipper you would definitely find pieces. I would suggest moving decor around in the tank to look for him and/or look all around the room behind furniture.
The puffer you have also needs full marine as an adult and mudskippers are low end brackish.
 
I will get a pic when I find my camera. I already looked under decor and furniture. And I have a saltwater tank ready for when my puffer gets a little older.
 
I dont know where he could be. If he isnt in the tank i would look all around the house
 
Yea if it were a figure 8 it probably would only kill it and leave pieces of it around but the GSP might completely finish it off. I hope you find it.
