Firefish Goby missing


Recommended Posts

4th day, search and resuce action taken, could not even find their remain.

Geez what is going on my tank is only 3' and could not find any 1 of 3 missing.

Could be UFO ?

This sort of things does happens. Recently I lost a fire shrimp, I mean lost in the literal sense. My tank is only 2', I tear down all the liverock, just short of digging out the DSB, and I can't even find an antenae of it, not even its previous molt, just 2 tiny specks of red scales, can't imagine how the clean up crew did such a clean job.

Or have I been imagining that I own a fire shrimp? :heh:

I used to own 2 firefish. They were doin okie in my tank until i realised they have not been appearing for a period of time liao. My guess is that the crabby are the culprits...argh. I like the firefishes, with their reddish body. Think i may be getting the purple firefish ...

But if u have mani hairy crabs in the tank, they may well be the cuplrit also.

Just a tot...

So far I have not seen any hairy crab in my tank......

Any other idea guys, what could be wrong in my tank.

All my corals and other fish are doing very fine IMO.

I don't know man,

Well, I have DSB deep in front 6 and back 8" and lot of rock. So far everyday, I was looking for them around 1 hr ( day and night ) and still could not find.....

I saw one of other fish MIA a few day ago hidding happily in the rock cave. Bad things is most of my rock come with lot of nature cave. Some are quite big.
