So today I was doing some routine maintainace on my tank. I was in my fish room and I was just checking water level in my sump. Now mind you I only have a small area cut out of wall from my fish room to my tank and sump which are in another room. Anyway, when I looked quick I thought I saw something move.
Curious, I went around and removed the sump cover. Swimming around I saw my Radiant Wrasse. He's been missing for about 2 months. So I start my rescue mission. I start removing rocks from sump to clear netting area. When I pick up my third rock I see my Photon Clown that I bought from Sanjay at the fall swap. He's been missing since the day after the swap.
So after about 1 hour of chasing both fish around the sump I rescued them and put them back in the DT. The clown didn't grow at all, but he's alive. He seems to be welcomed by my other 6 clowns, but I am worried as he may upset the happy balance. I'll have to watch him closely. The Radiant Wrasse went right back to hanging with my other 5 wrasses and looks very happy to be back.
Now, I know I always check the sump when I can't find a fish but obviously I will have to check more closely when one of my fish goes MIA. I just assumed when I didn't find them they died and were eaten by my CUC. I really dont know what the heck they were eating down there but I'm thrilled that I have them back.
