I Lost A Fish@?!

[newfishaddict]

I have 45 albino cory fry about 8 days old in a 10g tank, in that same tank I had a 2-3 week old mystery fry that is in its own breeding net with a plastic frame within the 10g tank. The mystery fry is either a rainbow fish or a tiger-rasbora , the latter not have being bread in captivity. So, no surprise I was taking all precautions to ensure this mystery frys survival...

This morning the fry is gone, I spent about 75 minutes helplessly searching the breeding enclosure...

I was sure the dead fry would turn up in the corners of the breeding enclosure netting somewhere...The fry did not turn up...

The fry was about 7mm long and I have looked meticulously. I looked on the breeding enclosures frame and netting very carefully, no signs of a "corpse"...

I hope this fry turns up in the tank, and it escaped somehow, but I have looked already for a long time, he seems to be gone!? I am flabbergasted!

What happened?

check the filter.

check the filter.

I have checked the filter...
It was in a separate net....

The filter is an aquaclear 20, wit a thick filter bag over the intake, there is about 2 DROPS per second comming out of the filter output(literally) I have pulled the intake tube upwards until the filter "turnover" is about 1-2 DROPS per second...No fry have got stuck in this filter yet AND this fry was separated within its own netted breeding enclosure...

Look on the floor.

Look on the floor.

Can a 7mm fish jump? I dont think it could break the surface tension of the water...It was the same size as my cory fry at 2 days old...

by the way, I did check that lol
