I have over turned every rock in the tank, I really am starting to believe he is not in the tank. There is a hole he possibly could have jumped out of, yet I do see him behind the tank or anywhere else, unless my cat ate him. So far I am going through my dry/wet filter. I have no idea where this guy is? Any where you have lost a bigger fish that mine could be? I have no idea how he could have got in my filter, if he does turn up as the overflow slots are like quarter of an inch wide and 3/4 of an inch tall, unless he jumped the 1 inch part out of the water and got in between the glass and the divider, which is all but impossible.

Was he killed and devoured? the culprits:

Uaru amphiacanthoides (who are the most non violent fish I have ever seen, and are about 4 inches)

Lemon tetras (ha ha)

Green Severum (about 1.5 inches long ha ha)

Neolamprologus brevis (Yes I know whats he doing here, well he is a bad boy and was put in a corner in this larger tank for now, oddly enough he does extremely well in this tank, he is about 3 inches long)

Panda Cory (about 1 inch long ha ha)

Common Pleco (About 3 inches)

I have been gone for 24 hours so there could have been a murder/cover up, it seems unlikely with the Acara being the 3rd largest fish in the tank besides the Uaru. I just hope he is ok, the fish is beautiful, and very active, and a great community guy.

Well you can delete this thread.

After hours of looking my cat brought him out all dried up.

RIP one of my favorite fish.

Sorry you lost him! I was just going to ask if you had cats or dogs!

If there's a hole to jump from, some fish will find it. All it takes is for them to be startled from below and they are out of the tank.
