Strange things happen in fish tanks ! A month ago, I bought 5 L260s on line. Acclimated them, and put them in the 10 gal QT tank. 2 days later, 1 died, so I removed it. Figured I had 4 left: 5-1=4, at least in the math I learned. A week or so ago, after continually seeing only 3 fish, I decided to check. Took everything out of the tank. 3 fish left ! Checked everywhere within a 10' radius of the tank - nothing ! Now this is a 3 1/2" fish ! Not easy to miss. Still have no idea where it went ! Good luck with yours.
