    I took my anenome and pair of mated clowns to my buddies fish store.. The anenome was stinging everything and I was getting frustrated.. I wanted something different, so off I went to swap everything in for something else. Well long story short, I picked up a Jeweled Damsel, and a six line wrasse. Everything was fine for the first couple days then the sixline was gone. I don't know what happened. I guess Bad Karma struck me for getting rid of my clowns... Anyone have a suggestion for another fish??? Thanks

    Gone? Did he pass away? I know they are jumpers, our six line likes to jump into the overflow from time to time, so does our Flame Hawk....

    I don't know where he went. I just don't see him in my tank. My cube enclosed so I don't think he jumped out. Thanks for the suggestion though Baxter... Cuttingras, I was thinking about a Royal Gramma. My lfs just doesn't have any in yet.. Trust me when it comes to my lfs, I haven't pulled out the green backs in quite sometime. He takes care of me....

    No Pygmy angel or 6 line wrasse - your cube is too small for them. Did you check in the back compartments for it? Wouldn't be the fisrt time that a fish has jumped back there.

    I'll get the flash light and check the compartments. I thought I would find some sign of him when I rearranged my rockwork.. I don't know. I lost a large pleco like that once...
