    I Have ( or had ? ) a strawberry psuedo i bought from a LFS he was in the tank for about two days always around my liverock and around the third he went missing its been five days since i have seen him , i have no idea where he may have gone . To take my paronoria to another level i begun searching the floor , all filters , lines - nothing . still cant be found .

    His tank mates are a spider decorator crab , damsel , clowfish , 5 astrea's , 6 turbo snails , 5 red legged hermits , bi color angel .


    I have heard of rumors they may hide inside my liverock but have not seen him anywhere i have a mirror back on my tank and can see all my live rock about 300 deggrees of it and nothing .

    Any help will be good help , i have no idea where he is!!!! :*(

    He could very well be hiding. It's amazing how well fish can hide in aquariums! I've had fish disappear for days and no matter how hard I searched I couldn't find them. Then of course there is the possibility that it died somewhere in the rocks and has been taken care of by your clean up crew.

    Hope he comes out soon!!

    I bought a pseudo about a week ago. Think I've seen it 3 or 4 times since. They hide very well. I wouldn't worry too much. It'll come around. You don't really have anything that would harm it.

    My strawberry is pretty aggressive for such a small fish. You should get a glimpse of him soon if it still alive.
