Clown fish went missing after a water change!

Holy crap! What an afternoon.

Did a water change yesterday and I checked my tank today and saw only one clownfish. At first, I was scared that the clownfish died after the water change so I checked my rocks and everything. I even checked the sump too. After I initially could not find the clownfish, I checked the sump again and the lil mf was just swimming there. I scooped him up with my hands and put him back into the tank. I also put a netting over the hang on back overflow so hopefully it'll prevent that from happening again. What a rush.

Glad you found him and returned him to you tank! I had a goby living in my overflow for 2 years.. I thought he died.. found him the other day... Feel so bad. Impossible to see and impossible to get him out.

I hope he likes life in the tank!

The same thing happened to me a few weeks ago! Glad you found him!
