Man I'm so upset right now.. I've only had the fish since last Friday, I even saw her once yesterday when I was counting noses (at feeding time).. She didn't eat a ton, but she was swimming ok, etc. But today at feeding time this morning.. nothing.. So I moved a couple of pieces of rock where she hides out.. Nope.. So I have been watching the tank today (lucky I have a few days off since the schools are completed) and just watched. No pygmy anywhere..
So I decided, if she's gone I should have raised parameters right? Wrong. Everything in line. Amm - 0, Ites - 0, Ates < 5 (I'm guessing 2.5 as the color was between).. Well being upset I decided to do more digging.. Looked in the overflow, checked the sump, heck I even took apart the skimmer and return pump looking for blue scales, fins something, anything. Nothing.
So I dug futher, eventually had all my rock out of my tank.. She is nowhere to be found.. Man this sucks. My first loss with this tank.
My only hope is that my cat hasn't learned how to fish..
