Tessie asked in PetsFish · 1 decade ago

Ok, this is totally weird but my daughter's goldfish just totally dissapeared from our fishtank?

we have 2 other fish but I really don't think they eat each other do they? Poof! the fish is gone? I have no idea, it's not floating anywhere or nothing?

Update:

its not hiding in the plants or the one little cave we have in there.

Update 2:

and the tank is covered, its not an open fish bowl. it did not flop out

Update 3:

i don't have a cat, the tank is covered, there's actually no way it jumped out. I have been bothered by this for the past few days? we have looked everywhere!!

    They most likely jumped out. I used to keep my goldfish in a fishbowl with the top bit opened pretty big. everytime iwake up, i see my goldfish on the floor or if its missing, its under the table, and luckily, when i put it back in the bowl its still alive.

    Try looking for it under the tables, etc

    Has the tank got a lid? He may have jumped out of the tank check around the floor to see if the fish is there.

    If the tank is heavily planted the fish have be hiding behind a plant or a rock, make sure you look all around the tank.

    If you have an animal such as a cat, he may have eaten the fish.

    Hope this helped.

    Merry christmas.

    Is there a lid on the tank? It could of jumped out, have you checked around the tank on the floor?

    Sometimes I couldn't find my fish and found them hiding right in the corner behind the filter, make sure you check everywhere!

    If his intentions have been organic, he wouldnt be continuously bringing her up, calling her, texting her, etc, thats undesirable behaviour. i ought to be certain if he called her occasionaly (2-thrice a week) to envision up on her, taking her to college (conventional is high quality) and taking her out to dinner as quickly as each and every few months, however the fact his behaviour is this extreme, leads me to have self assurance something extra is going on. it quite is a risky sport the two are playing: She's on the age the place her hormones are raging, and girls that age generally fall for the older adult adult males, plus mixture interior the sensation she's not at all had a father equals Tnt. you have have been given lust, innocence, infatutation, and love on her area happening. Your husband is one hundred% on a capability holiday right here, it boosts his ego, and specific turns him on sexually to have somone that youthful finding on him, she's arising and the fact he spends plenty time along with her equals an explosive concern. i'm uncertain if he's had intercourse along with her yet, yet i can fantastically plenty assure you considered one of them has made a bypass in direction of the different, and the different did not turn it down. i does not be very much shocked in the event that they're having intercourse in any respect. the subsequent time he's over at her living house, walk in and notice merely what precisely it quite is they're doing.

    It could have flopped out of the bowl. I used to have 19 guppies and 4 of them jumped out of the bowl while we were on holidays.

    Robert is wrong-goldfish of the same size can be cannibals. just recently two of my goldfish (out of three) just !poof! gone. i noted that one fish was extremely fat.

    Have there been any earthquakes recently? He might have been thrown out. Or, do you have a cat?

    it probably did eat it, especially if the missing one was the smallest--not surprising.
