Vanishing act

Weird. Yesterday I only counted 5 of my cardinal tetras, so I removed the huge chunk of driftwood in my tank and searched for its body. Found nothing....checked the back chambers of my biocube and found nothing....so I thought the other fish and shrimp finished it off. Well, today when I woke up I counted 6 tetra and was like wth.....Don't know where he was hiding....

lol, that's like the other day when i did a water change and couldn't find my black diamond cichlid after (and he isn't a small fish!) and i was freaking out and i found him in a hole in a fake log that i didn't think he could fit into. it's his favourite hidey hole now, lol.

At a restaurant where I worked there was this big tank with a pleco, a bunch of cichlids (which always inevitably ended up one large cichlid, lol) and a little spotted rafael (sp?) cat.

One day the manager decided to clean the tank. He took all of the furniture out and put it in a rack to run through the dishwasher (eeew) and searched and searched for that little cat... Nowhere to be found.

I found him, seconds before he would have been boiled to death. He was in a fake plant in the rack, wedged in with his fins all stiff, but was no worse for wear once he was back in the water.

There also used to be a blue lobster in the tank. One time I found him in the kitchen, another in the bar, and another in the broom closet. He took one too many forays and was eventually found dead behind the cash register.

Fish find all kinds of small places to hide. You may not even see them if they are only in a corner.
