Dave5319 is looking at reefs
Default Re: tank 1 month old

Since all my test were saying that I could support life I went and bought 3 damsels.
A neon blue one, a blue yellow tail, and a silver damsel. First day all was fine, second day the blue yellow tail damsel went MIA. I figured its just hiding and the other 2 were doing just fine. We did notice that the neon blue damsel was at times picking on that fish. It is now 4 days missing not a trace, I looked with out moving the rock for it, but I can't see a thing. There are alot of hiding places behind the rock as well in the front. The other 2 fish dodge behind the rock all the time but always coming out to check things out. At feedings they do very well.
Ok not knowing these fish that well is it common for a fish to hide for days?
I would hate to have to move 28lbs of rock to find a 1" fish that could just be hiding. I have been keeping a very close watch on the ammonia level thinking if the fish is dead it would shoot it right up, but all readings are very normal. If the fish is dead, I would rather just keep and eye on the chemistry of the tank before I move this rock.
Any Ideas?
Dave
