Sad day today. My female clown fish has come up missing. She’s not in the tank. I checked the overflow. I even checked in the sump thinking maybe somehow she got sucked down into the sump. She’s not there. Must’ve had a run in with one of my tang’s, and of course the crabs and the snails must have had a feast. I turned off the water so I could see down through the top of the tank she’s not in the tank. I feel gut shot today. That’s what’s hard about keeping these animals. We become attached and now I feel terrible. It happens so fast because I know for a fact, she was in there yesterday morning.
New fish 🐠
New tank. FRAG TANK!
First time cutting hammer frags. Some turned out well, others didn’t…
This Scopas Tang has done a good job picking at the algae but haven’t been able to get him to eat any nori or frozen food yet…
A dremel tool with a 1.5” circular blade. It was an old blade so the cuts weren’t the cleanest. I just bought a new blade so hopefully goes better next time.

Found her behind the tank. My bad I slide the cover off during feeding and she must have jumped out. At least she wasn’t killed by her tank mates and left to be eaten. I’m still sick to my stomach though knowing it was my fault.
Hey all! Just wanted some opinions. I’d like to add a Juvenile Tang (I know they will outgrow the tank) with plans of trading it in for another juvenile when it gets bigger.
Has anyone had experience doing this? Pros and cons? Thanks!!
I do not recommend getting a fish you plan on trading out. Moves are stressful for fish. Unless you plan on upgrading to a bigger tank in your own home, which is slightly less stressful on them, I would stay clear of big fish. My quarantine tank is the same ta...
