|  ... ugh...okay...i was snapping pics of my 55 a few minutes ago, and i noticed that Lulu (my baby clown) wasnt in her usual place(hanging out on the right side of the tank waiting for me to toss in some food). being that i broke down the tank the day before and changed the substrate and 50% of the water, she was probably still a little scared and hiding in near some rocks or in the driftwood. i couldnt find her. as i begin counting my fish i notice i only have three clowns swimming around. now im frantic...take of the hood, pick up the driftwood, take the top rocks off of the caves...no loaches.  my thoughts are, they couldnt handle the stress of the tank change and passed in the night. but, being that the tank was spotless, i thought id find some form of remains. then i remembered what apple snails do.this sucks...

| Do you mean the snail ate the evidence? Man o man, sorry to here that! Ive got clowns and after my first one passed, I always have to give it a double take when i see those crazy clowns lying on there sides! So do you think it was just the stress of the move and change?

| idk...the other loaches and the tiger barbs are fine, seem to be enjoying the tank quite nicely. it has less of a cave system now, less hiding spaces may have added to the stress. i didnt put in any plants yet. they were fine when i looked at them before i did the change, but having to net them twice in one day is alot to ask. i also thought that maybe they had jumped out of the net when i was putting them back in, but a check of my floor showed no evidence.

| try vacuuming the substrate for bones their still might be a chance that you still have your loaches and they are buried deep or hiding in the most impossible crack that you wouldn't guess they could fit into.also try looking in a 8 foot radius around your tank.you wouldn't belive how far a fish outta water can flop around.either way i'm sorry to hear that loach.i hate that sinking feeling that comes over you when you notice a missing fish.
