    Today I thought was going to be a great day I was adding my first fish. Well I bought 5 mexican turbo snails, 2 clown fish and a peppermint shrimp from my LFS. I added them to my 46 gallon bow around 5pm. Both clowns were side by side when i put them in. All the way up until at least 9pm when the last time I checked on it. And when I was going to bed at 11, one of the clowns were missing. I can't find that thing anywhere in my tank. I looked outside of it just in case it jumped and nothing. Could it have really died that quick? It is my first saltwater tank. But I never had lost a freshwater fish that fast in over 5 years. Have you guys ever had any issues with clown disapearring?
