In his cone feeder! Haha. Poor guy. He had room to move about but still! I turned over the cone and all was well. I thought maybe since the water was down a bit, he'd just jumped in. Its got a nice top so no worries there. I replaced the water. I've been paying so much attention to my beepity beep car I haven't stared at the puffs a lot this weekend.

OMG, what a relief! Yay!

That's where I'd be!

umm... what are cone feeders for? ive seen them, but cant figure out what purpose they serve

Well it was empty but maybe he was hopeful? He's usually slow on the uptake- hence the feeder anyway. I sent my dad a short video of him when I'd first gotten him swimming toward the feeder. "That's the slowest fish I've ever seen," I think were his words. I just dunno how he got in. Lol

Cone feeders are shaped like a shortened Ice cream cone (w/o ice cream) and have tiny slits so that blood worms or other small feeder worms can wiggle out slowly, telling the fish "I'm tasty!" while slowing down their trip into the gravel.

Aww bless him for being optomistic! lol
Hope he's ok now he's free again.

Off to google cone feeders now!
