You need to offer a real ransom for info lmao. It may be hiding?
It's amazing how easy maintenance is. If done regularly and thoroughly

Possibly ,I put the catfish in Peteys 29g tank today , Wife bought a pair of saddleback clowns so I needed the quaratine tank ! I havent seen it since I put it in the tank . On a plus side I havent seen any fish parts in the tank , But I also picked all the rocks up to see if I can see him. No way for him to jump out either . My damsels have hid pretty good in the rocks before so I just have to wait and see .

We need a better description than just, "catfish". Is there a ransom note?

After seeing Petey inhale a clam and small piece of shrimp , I believe he sucked up the catfish like a piece of spaghetti.

I like the catfish . I may try again , but keep it in the 75g until its big enough not to be messed with . I think that it being small and thin he was to good to pass up .

Still could be hiding. If small can be invisible little buggers.

The woods would be very silent if no birds sang there except those that sang the best. Use the talents you possess.
