Lost Bristle Nose?

[DJ ArKaDaRkA]

i bought a pretty big bristle on saturday but now i cant find it anywhere i thought i might have got out the tank but its not

i took the bogwood out and ran my fingers through the sand but nothing and its too big to get in the filter i think

any ideas?

What type of filter, have you check every concevable place known to fish?
They get everywhere litterally

They do and can hide so give it time.

Put a chunk of crochet in there tonight and go back in an hour

NO.......Thats were my bristle's used to hide, so i crammed it full of gravel underneath,,,,,even my angel female from my old breeding pair would try to squezze under there....

They're great hiders. I don't even bother checking mine anymore. Luckily for me, mine comes out of the tank almost every night at 9PM and does a swoop check around the tank. But if you come over in the afternoon and ask to see him, I'm not going to be able to find him for you.

ok cheers

i think i will get an external filter soon so the bugger cant hide

right i got a small piece of wire coat hanger and couldnt even fit that under the filter so im guessing the plec cant be under it as he was big

Im sure he's about somewhere, he will turn up when you least expect it.

yeah i suppose

what would tempt a nice bristle nose out?

I know you have the juwel internal, have you checked inside the filter, it is very possible he has got inside, whilst sucking up the side of it and gone down into that way and be amongst the sponges.
