Unhappy Lost my Wrasse

Well, I lost my Red Fairy Wrasse For the past couple of days I noticed that during feeding time he was no where to be found, since he's the only fish in the tank that will play tug-o-war with the food while it's still in my fingers I found it odd that he hasn't been around to eat. So I checked in all the rock work and couldn't find him. Remembering how he loves to jump I checked behind the stand, he was there The only open slot in the canopy is where the skimmers output is, about 1" wide x 6" long and he found it! He was one of my favorites Thats only the second fish I've lost in over 3 years, it's amazing how attached to these fish one gets!

Sorry about your loss. We just lost our Longnose Hawkfish who jumped out of the tank 2 days ago. Found him inside the stand. I understand(I'm sure others do as well) how one can become attached to their fish.

Sorry about your losses.

It's amazing how jumping fish seem to find their way through the smallest of openings. I should probably cover my own tank better around the filter outlet and heater.
