    Thanks all, I have been on the lookout for him and haven't seen him yet, he might make a miracle comeback but with the way he was acting I just can't see that happening. Let's count up the stressors: 6+ hours in a bag (definitely not the worse thing that has happend, but still a stressor), then the electricity goes out for 12 hours that night during the flood, then the next day I foster a flood-stricken friend's sixline. Not a single one of these would kill a fish, but I wonder if all of them together plus being a small guy did him in. We will have to see...

    Reefsparky- believe it or not my wife is the one who named him!! But I do like the idea of naming a replacement Pootie!!;D

    Well I haven't found a carcass yet. Earlier a friend came over with her 4 year old and he said he saw a blue fish, but when I asked he pointed to the 6line, so we dismissed it. Well just a minute ago some friends came over and were looking at the tank and said they really liked the blue fish with the yellow tail that was hiding!!! So there is still hope... gonna feed tonight and see if he comes out!! I will keep everyone posted, hopefully he makes a Tiger Woods-like comeback!!

    Still no sign of Poon. I would thing she would have to be gone, but I have yet to see a carcass. Between my MJ mod and the cleanup crew you would think I wouldn't have been able to miss a carcass, param. still good but the fish was smaller than a quarter, not sure if it would mess with params. much if the cleanup crew got to her. So I will still watch and wait, if I don't see her in another couple of weeks I'm going for a replacement!

    Well, poon must be gone, still no sign of her. The new cleaner shrimp mysteriously dissappeared also! Just noticed this the last couple days. I've been sick as a dog the entire week with 104+ degree temp so I haven't been paying much attention to the tank (or anything else!), then I look at it on Thursday for the first good time and the cleaner is gone. Starting to think there must be an evil predator lurking in my rock!
